Default 7 Deadly Flowers

I received an email today about the 7 most deadly flowers in the world. Some people have the habit of plucking flowers and smelling them. Unless we know the flowers, we are putting ourselves in danger.

Beautiful as it may be, some flowers are much more than it appears to be. To help you know what flowers to stay away from, study the list of the world's most attractive but dangerous flowers:

I know Belladona, Oleander and the Lily of the Valley are poisonous. Never thought autumn crocus are poisonous though. They are used to make saffron right?

Digitalis (foxglove) is also another killer containing the heart drug digitalis in all parts of the plant can induce cardiac arrest even in minute quantities. - Rich

Lots of plants are killers. Some just irritates us a lot like poison ivy.
