Behold the lovely rhododendron -- and beware its maddening toxins

Article by Ron Sullivan in yesterday's Chron titled, Behold the lovely rhododendron -- and beware its maddening toxins.

Interesting read.

Oddly enough, one of my favorite people had sent me a link to On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee at the end of January. She noted that poisonous honey would make a terrific murder weapon. ("Remember me in the footnotes!")

Is it something in the air?
