Holiday Plants and Pets

Yesterday I mentioned that some holiday plants could be poisonous to people. Hopefully most people have enough sense not to munch on holly berries, but your pets might not. We all know how much our furry friends like a little snack during the day, so I'm passing along these holiday plant lists. Some plants, like poinsettia, have been given a bum rap, while others you might not think about, like amaryllis, can do a lot of harm. Check the lists and make sure your decorations are well out of reach from young children and pets.
