I bought one of these plants last year, and this year had a bumper crop of seedlings this spring, giving them to family and friends. Am I a drug dealer, lover of flowers, or both? Had read warnings online that the plant had such properties, but have never tested it.

They are all in bloom now, and are quite spectacular-to look at!

Yep - bumper crop of volunteers in the garden. Once you have ONE plant and let it go to seed, you'll never want for them again. I know they are poisonous and just touching the pods or the leaves makes my hands smell horrible. I can't imagine voluntarily ingesting this. Ick.

Gorgeous flower, though!
