Impressed with Next flowers and their warning about lilies

[EmmaG]

Good to see that Next are now carrying a warning on their boxes of flowers that lilies can be harmful to cats

[Fran]

Excellent news Emma, just need more retailers to issue warnings now!

[dandysmom]

Excellent idea, more florists should do that. Do any of you have a cat/cats who actually eat houseplants or arrangements? None of mine ever have, even though I've always had a house full of them? None of mine would even eat the cat grass I got for them!!

[Fran]

My moggies would never bother with flowers but I am positive the Meezers would so for that reason I have not had any flowers in the house since I got them :roll:

[dandysmom]

I shall stop bugging you to get an amaryllis then, Fran! :-D

[Mags]

Cassie will chew at the palm-like plants, she makes a real mess of them too:roll:

Broxi and Cooper try to eat cut flowers I bring into the house, yet wont touch my potted plants!! They do love their cat grass though.

lets hope the others catch on:D thats good to here though:D

[Fran]

I shall stop bugging you to get an amaryllis then, Fran! :-D

I'd really love an amaryllis Eileen, that's what is so damn hard and my fav flowers are lilies :?

[Kim]

That's great news Emma. Wish more retailers would follow their example. Mine have never shown any interest in plants. However, some time ago a siamese cat died after washing itself and ingesting lily pollen that had got onto his fur as he walked past a vase of them :(

[dandysmom]

Some florists warn you to cut the stamens off the lilies when you get them...that's principally because the pollen will stain table linen. etc., but a wise precaution if you have cats...I'd never heard that horror story about the cat and the pollen....awful!

Until I came here I had no idea about Lillies, I have never had them since.

Vincent and Mabel kept pulling the green fern out of my flowers over the past week, every morning I would find it on the floor lol.

Well Done Next Flowers x
