Beautiful. They're also hallucenogenic - that's why they're very dangerous. There's always an experimental soul who takes the experiment too far!

Thanks for pointing that out Chris. They were used in Native American rituals for many years (maybe still?? I'm not sure). I point out the danger side because many of my friends have small children. Just a few of these seeds or leaves could kill a small child and I want all my readers to be aware of the possible danger.

Wow, you'd never think something so pretty would be poisonious!

A beautiful flower. Aren't the most poisonous ones almost always very beautiful?

Absolutely, wizard! Hemlock, angel's trumpets, belladonna...deadly one and all.
