House and garden plants are wonderful. But Natures's beauties can also be lethal.

Pets love to gnom, especially cats and the list of toxic plants is huge.
Take them in consideration.

You can find the complete list with photos on ASPCA's site.

I'm just going to give the names of the most common plants that are toxic for pets:

• Aloe Vera - vomiting, depression, diarrhea, anorexia, tremors, change in urine color.
• Amaryllis - vomiting, depression, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, anorexia, tremors.
• Azalea/Rhododendron - severe digestive upset, excessive drooling, loss of appetite, frequent diarrhea, colic, depression, apathy, loss of coordination, leg paralysis, weak heart rate and recumbency for 2 or more days; at this point, the animal may become comatose and die.
