A poisonous beauty



What a beauty this flower Autumn Crocus - Colchium Autumnale ( in danish Nøgen Jomfru). Just seen it in a local flowershop in Copenhagen. But have just found out that is highly poisonous. Actually it contains poison similar to arcenic. What a dangerous beauty..... strangely I am often attracted to these strange flowers, just as my Christmas Rose -Helleborus Niger- below.
