<<I never realized irises were  poisonous>>
Can't find it right now, but I've always understood that biting or eating  
irises could make a person's  tongue and throat swell.  My youngest  was about 
two when I started collecting modern irises.  I wouldn't let her  near them.  
Everything goes into the mouth of a 2 year old.  
 
Back then I had a listing of every plant, what parts were toxic, and what  
the results would be.  
 
I had a Pully (dog) that loved to dig for moles in the iris beds.   He'd dig 
half way to China, but he never offered to chew on any part of an  iris.  He 
was a mess to clean.
