hi arnold, i wasn't aware Colchicum leaves were poisonous, but being an apartment grower, i have some serious problems with outdoor pests like squirrels (the worse evil inflicted on plant lovers) when i put plants in my firescape for the summer. i soon learned to put outside only poisonous and spiny plants. that apparently didn't help. the evil furry rats apparently haven't read the memo that says Adenia and Adenium (caudiciform african succulents, not related in spite of names) are poisonous. i've read that cattle in africa have died from munching on them. well, that didn't stop the squirrels from damaging them and i have not noticed any drop on the squirrel population around here. now only spiny euphorbias go outside and these the squirrels leave alone. tsuh yang --- Arnold Trachtenberg <arnold@nj.rr.com> wrote: > Taken on a rainy day. > > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
