The Most Beautiful-But-Deadly Flowers in the World – Most dangerous
Beautiful as they may be, some
flowers are much more than they appear to be. Believe it or not, these

its scented flowers. All parts of the plant are poisonous, but the
greatest concentrations are in the sap and berries.
Daphne contains
mezerine and
daphnin, two powerful toxins that cause stomach aches, headaches,
diarrhea, delirium and convulsions. If Daphne berries are consumed, the
victim might fall into a coma and even die.
6. Lily of the Valley
Just like the
Daphne, Lily of the
Valley may look beautiful and harmless, but it is entirely poisonous.
Eating one or two of the plants bell-shaped flowers
wont hurt you
very much, especially if youre an adult.
Eaten in large
quantities, Lily of

lethal tropane alkaloids. The entire plant is harmful, but its
good-looking berries pose the most danger, especially to kids.
The symptoms of
Belladona, or
Deadly Nightshade poisoning are dilated pupils, blurred vision,
headaches, hallucinations, delirium and convulsions. Atropine, the
toxin contained by Belladona, can kill a person by disrupting the
nervous systems ability to regulate breathing, sweating and
heart

4. Angels Trumpet

fatal to humans and a number of animals. Known as a powerful

and it is used in shamanic rituals by indigenous tribes in western
Amazonia.
3. Rhododendron

evergreen shrub,
featuring large, beautiful blooms, has been known for its toxicity
since ancient times. Xenophon recorded the odd behavior of a group of
Greek soldiers who had eaten honey from rhododendron flowers.

andromedatoxin which causes nausea, severe pains, paralysis and even
death. Azaleas, members of the same plant-family as rhododendron, are
also poisonous.

known as one of the
most poisonous plants on Earth, often used in suicidal cases around
southern India. The numerous toxic compounds contained in the entire

1. Autumncrocus
