Beware of lilies


 Some of the most beautiful flowers of the season are the most toxic, and these includes the "innocent" lilies. It's best to learn which ones are bad, especially if you have a garden or thinking of getting these flowers. If you love cats and dogs, just be careful what plants you introduce into the home. Although lilies are gorgeous and look pretty, they can be poisonous to cats and dogs, but mainly harmful towards cats. Make sure you keep them away from your pets.

A list of the poisonous lilies:

Lilium longflorum (also called Easter Lily) is a snow-white flower with golden coloured centre on a tall elegant stem. 

Lilium tigrinum (also called Tiger Lily) can be white or cream as a dove or a vibrant fiery colours with speckles and in orange, yellow and reds. 

Lilium speciosum (also called Rubrum Lily) is pink and speckled with white trim.
