Young children tend to think of poison as being a nasty color with a bad taste or smell.  Flowers and berries can look harmless to young children because they are pretty and often smell good, but if eaten could be poisonous.  Plants are among the top five most frequent poison exposures in children under the age of six.  The following plants (below) are considered to be poisonous and if you have young children who live in or visit your home, you should seriously consider not having these plants available in any area a child has access to.
