Butterfly’s Advice

31 Comments

The rhodo is mine and to me it tastes fine,

 Just lucky I’m not someone’s dog,

Or cat, or a horse, chowing down on a course

Of rhodos, like these on the blog.

 

The rhodo tastes good, perhaps all but the wood,

Though toxic to all of these pets,

Don’t let them ingest any leaves and it’s best,

If need be to call on the vets.

    Lucky butterfly that it can digest toxic rhododendrons.

    That is a fun poem, and thank you for the warning. I will not let my dog eat them.

    It sounds like rhodos are quite toxic to them. I was surprised. Luckily they are not usually interested in them.

    Such a good warning. There was a day years ago I didn’t know this.
