This list of unsafe plants is from the Connecticut Poison Control
Center. This is only a partial list.
Unfortunately, they did not give the botanical names of several plants.
I did not attempt to fill in the gaps because their Bird of Paradise,
etc., might be different from what I have in mind. This is the best
argument I know for encouraging the use of Latin names!
