8 Deadly Blossoms

Aconite Risk

Aconite, or Monkshood, boasts striking purple flowers. It is one of the most toxic plants, with alkaloids that can cause severe vomiting, diarrhoea, and heart issues. Even skin contact can be dangerous.

Angel's Trumpet

​Angel's Trumpet, or Arali, blooms with stunning trumpet-shaped flowers. However, all its parts are highly toxic, potentially causing hallucinations, paralysis, and even death if ingested.

Belladonna

​Also known as Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna has small, purplish flowers and toxic berries. Ingesting any part can lead to dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, and potentially fatal respiratory failure.​

Datura

Datura's large, trumpet-shaped flowers are stunning but deadly. The plant's parts contain toxic alkaloids, which can cause delirium, hallucinations, and potentially fatal poisoning if ingested.

Foxglove

Foxglove produces tall spikes of tubular flowers. Despite its beauty, it contains digitalis, a potent toxin affecting the heart. Ingestion can lead to nausea, vomiting, and potentially fatal heart complications.​

Hydrangea

Hydrangea's lush flower clusters conceal a toxic threat. All parts contain cyanogenic glycosides, which release cyanide when ingested. Symptoms include dizziness, shortness of breath, and even coma.​

Lily of the Valley

Lily of the Valley's delicate white bells hide a toxic secret. Consuming any part of the plant can result in severe heart arrhythmias, digestive upset, and even death. Handle with caution.​

Oleander

​Oleander is a popular ornamental plant with beautiful flowers. However, every part of this plant is highly toxic, causing heart problems, gastrointestinal distress, and possibly death if consumed.​
