GLAD' TIDINGS


The Toronto Sick Kids' publication Information for Families-Plant Safety says that Gladiola are 'known to be poisonous to humans'. I don't know why.

   I do know that it should be Gladiolus. It could just be that the list maker has been eating the Alihotsy leaves and confused Gladioli with the Bouncing Bulb or the Bubotuber (http://hp-lexicon.org/magic/herbology.html)                     See J.K.Rowling The Harry Potter Lexicon : Magical and Mundane Plants
