Dieffenbachia - Dumb Cane

As house plants (how we get them over here) i really dislike these (as all other houseplants) but seen here they look wonderful, really lovely :-))

Louise1:

Thanks!

It's amazing how different they look in the ground! I have some in my front yard also...they just seem to look so much better in the ground outside (as long as they are in
shade here).

Fascinating leaves...

Terratoonie:

Thanks! Yes, they have flawless leaves!

What a pretty variety.

Luminous! Guess when cats eat them, it numbs their throats for a while, so dumb cane is a good deterrent as well as sometimes used as a gargle for hoarse throats.

Orgratis:

I've never heard of cats eating them...however, I do know the plants can numb the vocal cords, hence, the name dumb cane.

I have never hear of a gargle for horses either...it sounds cruel...if it affects them like humans or cats.

LOL!

Lori:

LOL!!! I just read what Orgratis wrote again...I guess, I really mis-read what she wrote. I though it sounded very strange! LOL!!! : > )

The hoarse whisperer may say nae, but rain in your vocal chords won't dampen my feint from canter to cantor to cant! Call me odd...! Write u r! Hoof in mouth disease.

Orgratis:

That's funny! : > )

LOL!!!!
