Yellow Azealea Rhododendron luteum
Yellow Azealea, two flowers, I thought I would double check on the toxicity of these flowers; the toxin can cause very low blood pressure and heart rate as well as irregular heart rhythm. These symptoms could be life threatening. Ingestion of the "mad honey" is not the only way people have been poisoned by azaleas and rhododendrons. Eating the leaves, nectar, or flowers of the plants can also lead to toxicity 😲
Thanks to Granville for the correct Latin name, I either made it up, spelled it wrong, or just put the totally wrong name on.
