These plants are beautiful and they transform the garden, but they contain toxins inside that are dangerous to humans and animals.

Castor oil plant

A spectacular plant that vaguely resembles a palm tree. Due to its unusual appearance, the castor oil plant has become popular among gardeners. All parts of the plant are poisonous, but the greatest danger comes from the seeds.
