Joke Thread III grew up so fast! it has moved out of the SBG garage, and headed out to the West Coast to make the big time. But we all knew it back when…
Please make the new thread feel welcome, and post any new or recycled jokes here.

Have you discovered using urushi and nettles as groundcover plants yet?

The plant comment reminds me I wanted to plant a "little garden of horrors," starting with foxglove, hemlock, and belladonna. We got a foxglove plant, but it didn't last long, I think the environment for it has to be very specific (basically a bog type). Researching hemlock, apparently its quite invasive and spreads a lot, so growing that would quickly gain me problems with the neighbors. For belladonna, just two or three of the berries are enough to kill a child, and what's worse, they taste delicious! We have kids, so I've decided my little garden of horrors will have to wait for another time.

My comment was purely a joke, referencing the "Get off our lawn" in Andi's "Gray Pride" meme. ![:D](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) If you're curious about toxic plants, move down here to Florida. The jungle around my home already hosts all manner of horrors (including some stinging nettles and three different relatives of urushi), quite naturally, and I've never had to shoo any kids out of it.

Florida is chock full of poisonous plants, including very common decorative plants such as foxglove, lantana, azalea, oleander, kalanchoe, vinca, schefflera and croton.
My garden has all of these. Very pretty. Just don’t eat any of it!

Florida sounds like it's a horticultural paradise! I'll have to go looking for some of these next time I'm there!

I forgot to mention begonias and chrysanthemums. Also in my garden. Also poisonous.
Other popular decorative plants I grow are only poisonous to pets, such as Hawaiian ti, marigolds and geraniums.
They do make Florida very vibrant. They attract various species of butterflies, which is why I grow them. (I have milkweed for the monarchs; also poisonous but not all that pretty.)
Bees and other bugs like them too. Songbirds and dragonflies come for the bugs. It’s really nice.

Groans, moans, murmurs, laments, and howls.
