☠️ Beautiful but poisonous! ☠️
The arum was even selected "Poisonous plant of the year" 2019 in Germany - spotted in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
Do not eat! Be careful - even touching the plant may cause skin irritations and blistering.

The John Lennon wall in Prague, has been “decorated” with graffiti and parts of Beatles’ songs since the 1980s and was a source of irritation to the Soviet occupiers, as young Czechs would write grievances amongst the graffiti. The original portrait of Lennon is now lost under the layers of paint which constantly change the look of the wall. Today the wall tends to be representative of global ideals (love and peace)??
Foxglove plants contain toxic cardiac glycosides. Ingestion of any parts of the plant (and often the leaves usually as a result of misidentification for comfrey, Symphytum officinale) can result in severe poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, headache, skin irritation and diarrhoea. In severe cases it can lead to visual and perceptual disturbances and heart and kidney problems.
Foxgloves have also widely been used in folk medicine, and in conventional medicine, their cardiac glycosides have been used to make a heart stimulant drug.

Walking through a big (Asian) city in the midday heat can sometimes be quite exhausting and demand a lot from the body. This can sometimes lead to sensory distractions.
After a few days off of Flickr due to an irritation in my eyes (still not very well) I decided to go for a walk. We are having a heat wave and the temperatures are too high, the next few days will be the same. Just took only few photos and settings were crazy and my eyes are blurry because the eye drops and the ointment. Treatment is until June 11. (Cropped, best in large)

The single or double, cup-shaped flowers have little or no stalk and bloom on tall spikes. Hollyhocks come in a wide variety of colors: blue, pink, purple, red, white, yellow and even black. The tall spikes are covered with blooms from top to bottom. Hollyhock leaves are large, coarse and palmate in shape.
Hollyhocks aren’t noted as being poisonous when ingested. However, the stems and leaves can cause skin irritation when the small glass-like fibers on them are touched or brushed against.
Everyone has been angry and knows what anger is. Anger can vary widely (from mild irritation to intense fury) and can be sparked by a variety of things (specific people, events, memories, or personal problems). Anger is a natural and potentially productive emotion. However, anger can get out of control and become destructive and problematic.
So why do we get angry? People get angry when their expectations are not met -- whether those expectations are about the future, about themselves, or about others. When our expectations are unmet, we revert to illusions of control, "unrealistically expecting all people to behave and all situations to turn out as we think they should." Anger over these unmet expectations often leads us to blame others and shift aggression towards them.

Queen Anne's Lace flowers grow in abundance and that makes me very happy..The flowers are arranged in small clusters, tightly packed together in an umbrella-like shape (umbel) with a flat top
Oftentimes, there will also be one purple flower at the center of the umbel. In Daucus carota, the amount of toxin overall is small, though it has been known to cause a slight intoxication to grazing large mammals, like cattle and horses, when ingested.
Skin contact with Daucus carota foliage, especially wet foliage, or contact with the cell sap can cause skin irritation.
An object interrupting my daily routine and rationality. Irritating within the logic of getting on with my life. The figurine has been around for over twenty years (the grandchildren played with it as you can see) and is sitting on top of the kitchen cabinet and watching us, watching over us? I don't know. There is and never was an explanation. It is just there. And I will put it back there. The object belongs there. Interruption is part of life.
Here is something I didn't know :-)
All parts of the bleeding heart plant are toxic, both when eaten and when touched. A touch causes skin irritation. Eating the plant induces vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and breathing difficulty.
Poinsettia, also known by the names of beak-of-parrot (in Brazil), flower-of-christmas, or star-of-christmas is a plant originally from Mexico, where it is spontaneous. Its scientific name is Euphorbia pulcherrima, which means "the most beautiful (pulquérrima) of euphorbia".
It is a plant widely used for decorative purposes, especially at Christmas time, due to its leaves resembling petals of red flowers.
Its leaves are rough and measure 10 to 20 cm, while the flowers themselves are the tiny yellowish-green lumps in the shape of chalice, located at the tips of adult branches.
In the northern hemisphere it blooms exactly on the winter solstice that coincides with Christmas, which would explain why this plant is not so identified with Christmas in Brazil, where in nature it blooms from June to August.
The plant was used by the Aztecs for the production of paints used in cosmetics and dyeing fabrics, in addition to using their sap in the production of medicines against fever.
The milky sap of the plant, constituted by a type of irritating latex, in contact with the skin and mucous membranes causes inflammation, pain and itching, and can also cause irritation in the eyes, tearing, swelling of the eyelids and difficulties in vision. Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is false, however, that it can cause death.
Florists, especially those from Scandinavia and California, were responsible for obtaining varieties more adapted to domestic decoration, either because of their size (since these plants even form branched shrubs that reach 3 m in height, especially if planted outdoor), or by the color and color pattern present in bracts. Thus, there are Poinsettias in orange, pale green, marbled, speckled, etc.

Driving home with bales for the cattle I recognised that the sun lightened up my little village (grend). As I had the camera in the tractor I grabbed it and tried a shot. There is a van in the road that I thought was an irritation in the beginning, but now I think it adds a feeling of life in it. People live and work here; it is not just a postcard. And when it had passed the sun was very different.
Im Zoo Rostock – Polarium.
Schwarze Meer-Brennnessel oder auch black sea nettle. – Diesen Quallen kann man im Pazifik zwischen der Monterey Bay (Kalifornien) und Mexiko auch in größeren Schwärmen begegnen. Der Schirmdurchmesser kann bei größeren Exemplaren bis 50 cm betragen und ist dann violett bis schwarz gefärbt. Sie ernähren sich von Plankton, kleinen Fischen, aber auch von anderen Quallen, die sie mit ihren langen Tentakeln fangen. Ihr Nesselgift kann stark brennende Haut-Irritationen hervorrufen.
Allen Freunden einen schönen Sonntag gewünscht.
Caladium bicolor, called Heart of Jesus, is a species in the genus Caladium from Latin America. It is grown as a houseplant for its large, heart or lance-shaped leaves with striking green, white, pink, and red blotching. Hundreds of cultivars are available. It can be planted outside in USDA Hardiness Zone 10 as an ornamental. It is a problematic invasive species in Trinidad and Tobago, Guam, Micronesia, Palau, Hawaii and the Philippines, and naturalized populations can be found in most of the rest of the world's tropics, including Africa, the Indian subcontinent, southeast Asia and Malesia. C. bicolor contains calcium oxalate crystals, making all parts of the plant poisonous to humans, livestock, and pets. Sap coming in contact with the skin may cause skin irritation. Ingestion may cause burning and swelling of the lips, mouth, and tongue, as well as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If a pet consumes caladium, in addition to vomiting, etc., the symptoms include drooling, pawing at mouth or face, and decreased appetite. G5_101
The oleander (Nerium oleander), also known as Espirradeira or Flor-de-São-José (in Brazil), is a relatively common ornamental plant (including on sidewalks and public roads), but extremely toxic.
It is a large shrub, and can be around 3 to 5 m in height (although there is a smaller variety). Its flowers can be white, pink or red. The leaves are narrow and long, sometimes described as spearheaded. It is an undemanding plant in terms of temperature and humidity.
The oleander is originally from North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean and southern Asia. It is very common in Portugal and Brazil, whether spontaneous or cultivated.
Its active ingredients are oleandrin and neriantin, which are extraordinarily toxic substances. A leaf is enough to kill an 80 kg man - although vomiting often prevents the fatal outcome. In contact with the skin, the sap also presents risks, and it is advisable to use gloves when handling.
I found more informations about the toxicity of this plant:
Although it has historically been considered a poisonous plant, its bitterness renders it unpalatable to humans and most animals, so poisoning cases are rare and the general risk for human mortality is low. Ingestion of larger amounts may cause nausea, vomiting, excess salivation, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea and irregular heart rhythm. Prolonged contact with sap may cause skin irritation, eye inflammation and dermatitis.

Bill spotted this little guy as we were making our way thru the dark forest.
Secretion of toxins through the skin protects the newt from predators, and should therefore not be handled with bare hands. The red colors of the adult newt also act as a warning sign for predators. Its ventral surface has poison glands, which makes it reluctant for predators to eat. This special toxin is known as tetrodoxin. Several studies have found that newt larvae increase the production of this toxin while in the presence of predators (dragonflies). Tetrodoxin is known to cause muscle paralysis, skin irritation, and even death in predators. The Eastern newt also has a greater tail depth and is capable of swimming quickly away from aquatic predators.
Sea Thrift is a really very pretty, pink flower which grows happily along North-Atlantic seashores. It is slightly antiseptic but is not generally used medicinally because the sap can also cause skin irritations. The plant is apparently copper-tolerant and seems to absorb that element so I suppose it might be used to remove copper from soil if that's necessary.
Here our flower is being visited by a Stripe-winged Dronefly, Eristalis horticola, also rather useless. That is if you think aesthetic enjoyment has no use!
Does someone can explain why ever time I focus my camera on a flower, a wind (light or not) instantly begins to blow? :))
Crown-of-christ (Euphorbia milii) is a thorny shrub from Madagascar that is very widespread in Brazil, where it is used as an ornamental plant and as protection in hedges. Very widespread in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, it also receives the names of two-lovers, happily-married or two-friends, due to the fact that its small, red flowers always appear in pairs, at terminal summits. .
It consists of a perennial shrub up to 2 meters high, very branched, with long contorted branches, provided with numerous sharp needle-shaped spines, measuring about 3 centimeters in length.
These plants should be grown in full sun, preferably on fertile soils and with regular watering, but they adapt easily after being established in weak soils with little water.
Its handling must always be carried out with thick gloves and with great care, due both to the presence of the numerous thorns, and because it presents a toxic latex, which can cause irritation in the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth and skin.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De Anthurium/ Flamingoplant is een zeer sterke plant met mooie intense kleuren.
Deze Anthurium de Anthurium Zizou heeft niet alleen een mysterieuze naam maar zijn kleur is zeker mysterieus te noemen.
De Anthurium Zizou is licht giftig voor huisdieren en kleine kinderen, en kan tot misselijkheid leiden na inname of huidirritantie na aanraking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Anthurium/Flamingo plant is a very strong plant with beautiful intense colours.
This Anthurium Zizou not only has a mysterious name, but its color can certainly be called mysterious.
The Anthurium Zizou is slightly toxic to pets and small children, and can cause nausea after ingestion or skin irritation after contact.
Poinsettias.
Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Many plants in the Euphorbiaceae family ooze a milky sap. Some people with latex allergies have had a skin reaction (most likely to the sap) after touching the leaves. For pets, the poinsettia sap may cause mild irritation or nausea. Probably best to keep pets away from the plant, especially puppies and kittens.
Poinsettias are not poisonous. A study at Ohio State University showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have any harmful effect. Plus poinsettia leaves have an awful taste. You might want to keep your pets from snacking on poinsettia leaves. Eating the leaves can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think of as the flowers are actually colored bracts (modified leaves).
Poinsettias have also been called the lobster flower and the flame-leaf flower, due to the red color.
December 12th is Poinsettia Day, which marks the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1851.
In Mexico, the Poinsettia is displayed in celebration of the "Dia de la Virgen", which is also coincidentally, December 12th.
The Aztecs used the Poinsettia bracts to make a reddish purple dye for fabrics, and used the sap medicinally to control fevers.
Euphorbia amygdaloides native to woodland locations in Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus. The complex green-yellow inflorescence (cyathium), typical of Euphorbia, appears in late spring and early summer. The milky latex of the plant is toxic and can cause irritation on contact with the skin.

Traveller’s joy has been used in various treatments as it is said to contain anti-inflammatory properties. Traditional recipes used the plant to treat various ailments, including skin irritations and stress.
As this species is a woody plant, the stem was used in the past to make baskets. It is called traveller's joy because it adorns hedges and banks in the countryside with billows of beautiful feathery seed heads in the grey months leading up to Christmas.

Es gibt auch eine Entstehungsgeschichte, die einfach zu schön ist, um nicht an sie zu glauben. Sie handelt von der Wiener Köchin Cäcilie Krapf: Aus Ärger über ihren Mann, so heißt es, habe sie ein Stück Germteig nach dem Gatten geworfen. Der aber duckte sich und so fiel der Teig in einen Topf mit siedendem Fett. Und mit dem Verzehr des „Küchenunfalls“ soll auch der Ehestreit gegessen gewesen sein.
There's also an origin story that's just too good not to believe. It is about the Viennese cook Cäcilie Krapf: Out of irritation with her husband, it is said that she threw a piece of yeast dough at his husband. But he ducked and the dough fell into a pot of boiling fat. And with the consumption of the "kitchen accident" the marital quarrel is said to have been over.
Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 40 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of Spathiphyllum are commonly known as spath or peace lilies. They are evergreen herbaceous perennial plants with large leaves 12–65 cm long and 3–25 cm broad. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a 10–30 cm long, white, yellowish, or greenish spathe. The plant does not need large amounts of light or water to survive. Several species are popular indoor houseplants. It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive, and is watered approximately once a week. Several species are popular indoor houseplants. It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive, and is watered approximately once a week. The soil is best left moist but only needs watering if the soil is dry. The NASA Clean Air Study found that Spathiphyllum cleans indoor air of certain environmental contaminants, including benzene and formaldehyde. Although it is called a lily, the peace lily is not a true lily from the family Liliaceae. True lilies are highly toxic (poisonous) to cats and dogs, but the peace lily, spathiphyllum is only mildly toxic to humans and animals when ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause skin irritation, a burning sensation in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and nausea, but it does not contain the toxins found in true lilies, which could cause acute kidney failure in cats and some other animals. 13140

Enjoying a Gopher Plant.
Euphorbia lathyris, the caper spurge or paper spurge, is a species of spurge native to southern Europe, northwest Africa, and eastward through southwest Asia to western China. Other names occasionally used include gopher spurge, gopher plant . Can cause skin irritation and poisonous to dogs and people.
Drought tolerant .
After a rain storm finally moved on, I grabbed my camera and headed outside. Initially I was looking for drops of water on the leaves of my Virginia Creeper vine. However, the moment I saw the tiny water drops covering a single berry, I had to stop and capture the moment. Later I discovered Virginia creeper berries are highly toxic to humans and may be fatal if eaten. Its sap can also cause skin irritation in some people. Noted!
Von Trinidad aus kann man mit einer alten Diesellok zu einer ehemaligen Zuckerfabrik fahren. Eine gemütliche Tour durchs Hinterland. Der Zug fällt zwar fast auseinander, hat aber eine bessere Bordbar als jeder ICE.
Jeden morgen Punkt 09:10 werden die Tickets für den Zug um 09:30 verkauft. Eine halbe Stunde vorher beginnt sich das kleine Wartezimmer mit Touristen zu fühlen. Auf die Minute um 09:10 kommt der Bahnhofsvorsteher und fragt die entscheidende Frage "Ultimo?". Wer ist der Letzte? Die Frage sorgt für Irritation, verschiedene Wartenden rufen, "Wir waren die Ersten!". Den Vorsteher interessiert das nicht, er möchte den Letzten wissen. Am Ende ruckelt sich eine Schlange zusammen und jeder bekommt sein erhofftes Ticket.
Wann immer sich in Kuba eine Schlange bildet, fragen die Neuankömmlinge nach dem "Letzten" und wissen so wann sie an der Reihe sind.

The first time I saw a Protea flower, I was stunned by its unique beauty. After a bit of sleuthing online, I found a resemblance between this flower and an Orange Pincushion flower. Apparently the Protea flower, its nectar, and the seeds are very poisonous to human beings, dogs and cats. In fact, all parts of this plant can cause irritation on the skin and pain in the mouth and tongue if they are consumed.
It was a bright day and after a bit of a wander outside in the Hortus I went into the Butterfly House. There I saw this colorful Tropical Milkweed. The shrub had flowers but it was also developing seed. I didn't see any Butterflies on it; they were congregating on Light-Blue Snakeweed and Lantana. Pretty flower, but don't break its stem; it will exude a poisonous, milky sap of which you'd better stay clear. It won't affect your skin, but might be transferred to your eyes to cause irritation there.
Your in my spot Leo has been getting in Prsissy's favorite window, I opened the other window for her and she has been laying there, Leo decided to move over to it, I was shooting a shot of Leo when Prissy jumped up in the frame and meowed loudly to Leo to express her irritation, she is still pouting. Shot in North Carolina.
irritation is swelling in me.
there have been so many things bothering me that seem to always want to occur at the same time.
they are mixed together and alter my emotions so violently.
sorry to everyone that my editing looks the same everytime.
largest amount of views. thanks so much
This Crow was laying in a patch of grass, rolling around and preening. If you look closely it is covered with ants!! "Anting" is a bird behaviour where they will passively allow ants to crawl on them by laying in an area of ant hills. They even have been seen to catch the ants in their beak and rub them on their body. Biologists feel that this is a way to help control mites and possibly help to alleviate skin issues from moulting or from irritation / infestation.
