Bouquet of Quiet Warnings!
“Not everything that looks harmless is harmless, and not everything dangerous looks dramatic. Some plants earn their reputation quietly.” ~Lori
I will be doing a more in-depth teaching you can get later on.
What’s in the poisonous bouquet
Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna)
Black, glossy berries and dusky purple flowers.
Historically infamous. Beautiful, dramatic, and absolutely not your friend.
The plant equivalent of “I warned you.”
Hemlock (Conium maculatum)
Fine, fern-like leaves and small white umbrella flowers.
Looks innocent. Is not.
Famous for being deadly while pretending to be parsley’s cousin.
Wolfsbane / Monkshood (Aconitum)
Tall spikes of deep blue-purple hooded flowers.
One of the most toxic plants in Europe.
Gorgeous, regal, and absolutely earns its reputation.
Foxglove (Digitalis)
Bell-shaped flowers in soft pinks and purples.
Medicinal history when isolated and controlled, lethal when not.
The plant that proves “natural” does not mean “safe.”
Additional Nightshade Family Foliage
Dark green leaves and clusters of berries.
This family does not play nice.
