Nice.... but Toxic

Winter Aconite
This is one of the earliest spring wildflowers to appear. It looks pretty but...don't eat it. Every bit of this plant is poisonous. It will cause nausea, vomiting, colic attacks and visual disturbances.
Ouch.....Pretty but deadly!.....Great capture though!

Very pretty, but that is true of a lot of toxic plants. Noticed you have a lot of yellow lately, feeling the sunshine?
