A Pregnant What?
A Pregnant Onion, otherwise known as Ornithogalum Longibracteatum. This is a fascinating plant to grow.

Holy cow! I've always wanted one of those, but I'm afraid of them because they're poisonous. I don't want a kitty taking a chomp...or me...on accident. But it's soooo pretty and neat!!

Blondie, don't be afraid of the plant. Your kittiy will probably give it a try and vomit here AND/or there, but it will learn soon not to eat it anymore. My two cats have already lots of experience trying poisonous plants (and me cleaning the floor  ) but they learn rather quick...  |

OK, so it's not something that would make me drop dead if I touched it and then scratched my lip? Good to know. Any time I see the word "poisonous" it makes me a little nervous.

JFYI, many of the plants we usually have in our homes are poisonous...  |

but really, don't worry about Ornitogallus. They are indeed very poisonous but only if you eat them, which I think/hope is not your goal...
