Surprising


I've had these 'lily of the valley' plants growing in my backyard for awhile. With all the rain this summer I noticed they bore these orange fruit. Then I did some research and discovered these are invasive poisonous plants. I was really surprised to learn this.

  4. That's something I didn't know either! But they are very pretty. Morning Glories are toxic to animals, I found that out before I planted them, so I made sure they were in an area far away from where the dogs hang out.

  5. Not many things that bear fruit without labor, seem to have much edible purpose to them

  9. I just recently heard about this also, though I've never seen the fruit form. Maybe because ours don't get very many flowers to begin with. They do make a pretty bouquet though.
