Jade Plant Flower

It isn't easy to get the Jade Plant (Crassula ovata), to flower. In order to bloom, the plant generally needs to be fairly mature and undergo a period of dormancy. I had the opportunity to photograph a very large specimen plant in bloom. The flowers themselves are very dainty, very fragile, and quite small.

False Hellebore

The beautiful symmetric swirls of the False Hellebore is what enticed me to make this photograph. But despite its good looks, the plant is highly toxic!

Here is an interesting assessment of the effects of ingestion from Wikipedia: "The plant is highly toxic, causing nausea and vomiting. If the poison is not evacuated, cold sweat and vertigo appears. Respiration slows, cardiac rhythm and blood pressure falls, eventually leading to death."

So if you see one, enjoy its symmetry but don't taste!
