Silly stories of incredible poison are being attributed to them; I even saw one person asking if the fragrance was as deadly as a friend had told her!!! Nuts!. A LOT of plants in the field and garden are "pretty poison"; Don't eat them or put them in your eye, and they are only wonderful!

My cats, one in particular, Loves flowers!! Eats them and the leaves to nubbins, if I don't shoo him or put the flowers out of reach (hard to do with a cat). But he doesn't touch the brug leaves. Nor will my goats, and I hear deer don't like them either. I think they must smell/taste bad to most critters, people included.


Edited to say those were lovely zinnias that morning!
