Poinsettias

I think it's pretty common myth/knowledge/lore that poinsettias are toxic to dogs. I know I had always heard that.

We learned this week in Toxicology that while poinsettias were quite toxic in the 70's, the ones sold commercially aren't anymore. The poinsettia sellers have bred the toxic agent out of the plants.

I think that's really awesome! (especially because it means I can have poinsettias at Christmas now! Sadly, lilies are still out.)
