[ there's Poison Ivy and she's not laying in her little flower jungle anymore. wherever she is, the grass is bright green despite the weather, and she's sitting at the edge of a pond, dipping her legs into the water. she's wearing a small lavender turtleneck sweater that barely barely reaches the top of her stomach. you can see the frost in the air as she exhales. ]

Water dropworts cause "sardonic grins" with poisonous roots and stems. The castor oil plant's seeds contain ricin and if eaten, kills within three to five days. If you burn manchineel, it causes blindness, and the fruit fatal upon consumption. There's dumbcane where everything about it is poisonous. [ she pulls a foot up out of the water before dipping her toes again ]

Deadly nightshade, belladonna, devil's cherry, dwale -- atropa belladonna -- one of the most toxic plants in the world. One leaf alone kills an adult, while all parts may cause hallucinations, convulsions, delirium, and so much more.

[ she raises a hand beside her and a tall pinkish flower blooms out of the ground. ]

Autumn crocus or colchicum autumnale contains colchicine which, when ingested, highly resembles arsenic poisoning and often causes comas and death. [ a pause and then she smiles a rather strange smile ]

But at least they're beautiful, hmm?
