Remember Breaking Bad?

If you are a Breaking Bad fan like so many other millions of people, then you will remember the episode where Jesse's (yo) girlfriends son got very ill.  They thought it was from the drug in the cigarette but it turned out to be from the beautiful but quite deadly Lily Of The Valley plant.

I've posted a cute photo of  a dog with a mouthful of these tiny white blossoms and at first glance one would say awww.  It's a natural reaction. But are you aware that this plant can prove to be deadly to mans and woman's best friend.  And not just canines.  This pretty little flower can cause severe havoc with your feline as well.

The Lily Of The Valley plant blooms in early spring and is considered to be a spreader. It roots under ground and is very difficult to get rid of. Once you think you've pulled it all up, bam it's back again the following year. It's beautiful but not so good for your pets so beware.  I've included a link that will give more details on the subject .  http://dogcare.dailypuppy.com/dogs-eating-lilies-2462.html

So when you see Rover walking down the lane with a mouthful of these flowers, thank him for the thought and then quickly dispose.
