Toxic Flowers
Chrysanthemum
Gardeners often include these flowers in their gardens to keep away bunnies so more than likely you don't want you cats or dogs nibbling on them either.

Seasonal Survival: Plants You Don't Want to Bring Into Your Winter Wonderland
by Homesessive
They've developed ways for you to grow or store almost any plant indoors these days. Even though growing your own exotic plants and veggies inside is fun and exciting, we must remember that not all plants should be brought indoors.
For instance with children and pets as hard as you try, it may be hard to control what they're putting in their mouths. This could be a huge problem since some plants are dangerous or even fatal if ingested. Whether they pose a threat to small children and pets, or can cause an allergic flare-up in all who near, here are a list of a few plants you may want to think twice before adding them to your home this winter.
View the gallery above for plants to avoid bringing inside this season.

Oleander
Every part of this flower is toxic, even the air when burning it! If you have pets or sensitive allergies this may not be a plant you want in your home.

Holly
Although a fun and festive holiday plant, Holly is also poisonous. The bright red berries can be confused with edible berries if you have little ones in the house.

Chinese Peony
This plant won't bloom unless they've been sitting at a temperature below 40 degrees F so don't expect to be seeing any of these blooms anytime this winter.

Orchid
Finally raising orchids is a craft and a skill. If you don't have the time and energy to care for an orchid, don't invest the money to get one.
