Beautiful but deadly. I’ve just discovered that the peace lily is highly toxic to dogs and cats, so sadly, it must go. Also a good idea not to have it around small children!

So peaceful looking. You are getting real good with close ups and macros. No I don’t know what the technical differences are, if there is any. 😀

I think the “macro” is just camera terminology for “closeup.” Makes us sound like we know what we are doing. Well, actually, you do know what you are doing. I am just playing!!!

Wow! We have one of those and I never knew. We don’t have any cats and dogs but we have grandchildren around to visit. Thanks for the info.

You can look it up and be sure the plant you have is a Peace Lily, but if it is, as they say, the problem is brushing up against it and getting the crystals from the pistil on your clothes or hands and then transferring them to your mouth. My helpers’ kids come here and I don’t want to take the risk… let alone my dogs, who tend to graze like cattle on plants… especially the youngest one, a Scottie. He’s like a little black fuzzy goat.

The Spathiphyllum is one of many many plants that are poisonous to pets and people, too. I think most of the contents of our gardens are dangerous if casually consumed. But in all the years I’ve been raising potted plants and having lots of dogs, never has one of them decided that my Spathiphyllum or my Dieffenbachia looked like lunch. I actually think dogs and cats — like wild animals — instinctively avoid this stuff. They would never survive in the wild otherwise. Foxglove? Deadly nightshade? So much of what grows wild is dangerous … and most of it, you probably don’t even know about. I wouldn’t worry, really.

The thing that made me pull it up this morning and give it to my gardener to transplant elsewhere if he wished was that if dogs or cats brush against it and then lick their coats, which they all do, it can make them very ill. They don’t have to ingest it. It is the crystals on the pistil that contain the poison. Diego and especially Morrie graze like goats…
