It's funny. I was raised thinking poinsettias were poisonous. Even though they were found to be safe, I still have never bought one. And now I never will. Thank you.

Check where they were grown. We have local growers in my area of Missouri and none are imported (not sure where WalMart gets theirs however).

I grew up thinking they were poisonous and therefore dangerous with small children or pets around, so we never had them.

It was just something that I'd never even thought about buying until I got married and my wife brought one home. We don't have kids or pets so it didn't bother me. Now I know that we will never have one again unless I can somehow determine where it was grown.
