After living in Fla. for 17 years, I learned that, generally speaking, poinsettias are not poisonous--according to the U. of Fla. The sap does bother some people, but it is not supposed to poisonous. Oleander sap may not be so good; I kept it away from kids and pets. The sap from the Century Plant will raise blisters, so watch that tool.

We have a large rhubarb patch -- we also turn the cows out to "mow" our grass in the summer. When they eat the rhubarb (leaves and all) we know it is time to turn them back into the field. The rhubarb leaves have never bothered them at all.
