I know we all get flack about how evil our Brugs are because they are "deadly". Interestingly enough, is the fact that there are quite a few common in gardens plants that are just as toxic. I am providing a link to a University of California-Davis study. Some of the plants that are equally toxic are Pampas grass, apple seeds (as well as peach, pear, apricot, plum and loquat seeds) Hellbores, Carolina jessamine, daphne, lupines including Texas Blurbonnets, Fritillarias...and the list goes on.

So when you get the "How can you grow that?" questions and reproving looks, you can offer some examples of other plants...at least we know about our plants and their inherent dangers.
