Fairchild gardens down in Coral Gables FL told us when we were there that they had a problem with feral iguanas stripping the hibiscus flowers for food. My dog eats the flowers and leaves {Bad Dog!!} and gags them back up because she tears off big pieces and doesn't chew them too thoroughly so they start her gag reflex going. She has had no other symptoms and I believe that if she chewed them up smaller nothing bad would happen, except I would have to kill her. Here's a picture of Noodles the Dash-hound dressed as a beneficial insect, instead of as an aphid the pest she most resembles with my hibiscus.
