Shit--I've got a giant dieffenbachia in my dining room--I had no idea it was "one of the deadliest plants on earth." And I bought some big pots, I was gonna divide it, transplant it . . . You may have saved my life here, John.

Yikes!

Funny enough, I pulled that from a pretty big linkdump that I almost skipped. Instead, I skimmed it and that one jumped out at me!

Funny how things work out.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that plant around here. I had no idea it was that nasty.

Glad you're still safe and sound, J.S.
