Submitted Photo: Bunny in the garden

By Howard B. Owens

Mike and Laura were doing a little yard clean up when Mike went to grab a fallen tree branch. It stopped when he spotted a bunny hiding in the wedding bells. Laura ran in, grabbed her camera, attached a long lens and was able to snap this shot before the bunny hopped away.

Lol Gary, good eating during the season but right now they're multiplying like, well, RABBITS! They're making more stew for the pot! I do enjoy watching my fat cat try to catch them but they leave him in the dust. There are so many rabbits this year, more than I've seen in a long time.

Lilies of the Valley are toxic. Bunny (as well as humans and pets) is advised not to munch on those greens. The leaves, berries and roots contain Glycosides and Saponins that can be dangerous or fatal if ingested in large doses. Glycosides affect heart rate; depending on amount consumed and age/health of the consumer, ingestion can lead to cardiac arrest. Digitalis, used to stimulate heart-rate, is a Glycoside derived from another garden plant, Foxglove- also considered poisonous.
