We've already had our first case of Lily plant ingestion of the year. Lily plants can be very toxic, even fatally so, for cats. Consider this your yearly reminder to keep the cats away from the pretty flowers!
We have a more in depth discussion here.

It is my understanding that the plant pictured above is a Spathiphyllum, commonly called a peace lilly, is not toxic and not truly in the lily family.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, this is a peace lily. I realized that after I published the blog, but I just didn't change the picture. I don't know about the botanical classification, but they are listed by the ASPCA Animal Poison Control as a toxic plant. I think it's safe to say it's a relatively minor toxicity (compared to the Easter Lily, for instance), but toxic nonetheless. Yeah, I know I'm squirming out on a technicality...
