    Hi there,

    I just got a small tropical plant from a local greenhouse. I love the orange at the base of the leaves and stems.

    The people that worked at the place I bought it from could not identify it is. I would like to know as I have cats and want to ensure it isn't poisonous to them, should the little stinkers decide to take a nibble.

    I've posted two photos of the plant here: http://photoshare.shaw.ca/messages/viewthumb/5439060765-1178729080-36251/54390/page/1/15/

    Can someone identify it for me please? I'd appreciate it!

    Thanks,
    ebl

    Looks like Chlorophytum orchidastrum.

    Wow, that was fast!

    Thanks, Junglekeeper! I'll do some more research and see if it is toxic for cats.

    Thanks,
    Eira
