And the possible danger of castor oil is something worth knowing.<br /><br />Remember I posted about a shrub with purple/lilac/white flowers in my garden? I found out it's called Brunfelsia. I also found out it's a very toxic plant. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I didn't go to Olga Poltavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972704777268794969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-33364855842485102132011-07-07T08:20:57.691-07:002011-07-07T08:20:57.691-07:00Pam, thank you.
