6 Daffodil

Who would have ever thought daffodils as pretty as they seem could be toxic too. It’s unfortunate and depressing to think so but that’s nature for you. The bulbs of the daffodil are the most poisonous and are not suited for a house having a dog who loves digging. Ingesting to much of the bulb can cause diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions, and cardiac arrhythmia.
