I give 5 stars! =)
these are the names:
poison ivy, rhubarb, foxglove, and mistletoe
Can you tell me information about these plants?
Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is a vine that is native to much of North America. All parts of the plant are poisonous. The vine stem appears very "hairy" due to the number of aerial rootlets that grow and attach themselves to trees or objects which the vine grows up. Each leaf is made of three (3) leaflets which are not symmetrical in shape. The fruits are white berries that grow in clusters. The fall color of the leaves is a lovely red. Birds eat the berries and therefore transplant it. Poisonous to touch and to eat, even the smoke of a burning poison ivy plant can damage a person's lungs.
Rhubarb is a large leafed perennial that is part of the buckwheat family. The green shiny leaves are poisonous if eaten, however the red stems of the leaves are what we use for making pies, jellies, jams and sauces. The flowers grow in large spiking plumes.
Foxglove (Digitalis) is a biennial plant (it has a two-year life-cycle) or perennial. Used as a source for heart medication, this plant can be poisonous if ingested.
Mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant that grows on other plants. It is a woody shrub which is poisonous to touch (for some folks) and is poisonous if ingested.
Reply:A few
Poison Ivy to touch
Rhubarb if you eat the leaves (but not the stalks )
Foxglove if you eat the blossom
Mistletoe I forgot
Reply:Poison ivy, is a plant, that grow three leaves, and is poisonous. Foxglove, is a poisonous flower( i think it's purple, and if swalloed) and mistletoe is also very poisonous(the berry part is) it is a shrub i think. Sorry don't know anything about rhubarb.
Reply:Poison Ivy is a vine and only the leaves are poisonous to the touch.although I wouldn't eat it either.
rhubarb is a shrub and it is not poisonous, in fact it's great to eat!
Foxglove is a small flowering plant, it's used for making digitalis which is a prescription heart drug.
Mistletoe is a shrub and it is poisonous if you eat it, especially the berries
