Also known as Our Lady’s Tears for its appearance under the feet of the Virgin Mary in medieval paintings, lily of the valley is a dainty, dangerous plant. Lily of the valley contains cardiac glycosides that cause the heart muscle to severely contract and spasm. The poison is most concentrated in the roots, but all parts of the plant are poisonous. Symptoms include irregular heartbeat, drooling, confusion, nausea, headache, and seizures. Lily of the valley stands for a return to happiness in the Victorian guide the Language of Flowers.
