I learned this flower Foxglove from a movie called The Intruder. Foxglove is a very beautiful flower but it is also very poisonous. All parts of the plant are poisonous and it can be possibly deadly. In fact I don't know much poisonous plants. No matter what, we have to be careful to this kind of plants as its beauty can attract us.

@youless I knew for most, but I did not know about some very common. I bought a book of "edible flowers", because I like to decorate cakes and salads, in the book there is the list of those we must never use because they are toxic.

Me, too. I thought it was harmless and actually I thought so for most of the flowers around us.

I think it may not grow in Aisa. I haven't seen it here, too.

Foxglove! What a name! And it being poisonous also indicates that perhaps it inherits the clever fox trait?? So are these found deep inside the forests?

I love this flowers, but I can't have them since I have a cat. They are toxic to cats.

Sure, sometimes cats will eat some plants. It is hard to say whether cats will eat this kind of plant by a mistake.

Does it grow in Australia? I hope the kangaroos won't eat it by a mistake.

Touching it is no problem. I think it is alright just not to eat it. Of course usually we won't eat it but I am afraid that animals may not do the same.
