19. Amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.)
Amaryllis dazzles with its large, trumpet-shaped blooms, making it a popular choice—especially during the holidays.
However, its bulbs contain lycorine, a toxin that can cause vomiting, tremors, and intense abdominal pain if ingested by pets or children.
The risk is particularly high because the bulbs are often exposed or stored in accessible places.
If you decorate with Amaryllis, always keep the bulbs out of reach and consider safer flowering options for family spaces.
