Lily-of-the-Valley

Convallaria majalis



All parts of this popular garden plant are poisonous, but children are especially attracted to the red berries. A few cases of poisoning have been reported when children drank the water from flower vases containing lily-of-the-valley. The digitalis-like glycosides are responsible for the toxic effects on the heart.
