I don't have pictures of these, but if you have dogs in your yard, do not plant Sago palms. These are deadly for dogs. Also Oleanders. Every part of the Oleander is poison not only to dogs and cats, but to humans as well. If handling an Oleander bush, be sure to wash your hands afterwards and do not put your hands near your eyes until you have washed them. These are only two of the poison plants for your dogs. Oh, and Elephant Ear is another one.
My dogs will run through shrubs and play in them. There is nothing in my huge dog yard except trees, two crepe myrtles, and Turks cap shrubs. I take no chances with my furry friends. And I won't have Oleander anywhere in my yard. I love the flowers, but I have grandkids. I did have some in my front yard in South Texas, but when I lived down there, my prize was the poinsettias that grew in my yard. No, they don't bloom at Christmas. They usually bloom in March and they will make a shrub around 3-4 feet tall. And contrary to popular belief, they are not poison.
I will be posting more plants that are safe in the yard and garden. I have most of my plants in the front because I don't ever have the guys and girls in the front unless I am taking them to the vet. I have more leeway with my plants there.
Have a good weekend.
