Poisonous Bouquet: For Star-Crossed Lovers
This is the result of some study of poisonous flowers. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what most of them are. There are some pawpaws and some purple nightshade and lily-of-the-valley, but I'll have to look at my sources again to recognize many others. Naturally, the amusement with poisonous flowers is that they're pretty but deadly, unlike snakes or spiders who are ugly and deadly. Deadly flowers seem a natural symbol of love gone wrong. The books in the back are “Romeo and Juliet” and “Tristan and Iseult,” two stories of star-crossed lovers.
