Hyoscyamus niger, commonly known as henbane, black henbane or stinking nightshade, is a poisonous plant in the family Solanaceae.[1]
Henbane ingestion by humans is followed simultaneously by peripheral inhibition and central stimulation.[12] Common effects of henbane ingestion include hallucinations,[1] dilated pupils, restlessness, and flushed skin. Less common effects are tachycardia, convulsions, vomiting, hypertension, hyperpyrexia, and ataxia.[1] Initial effects typically last for three to four hours, while aftereffects may last up to three days. The side effects of henbane ingestion are dryness in the mouth, confusion, locomotor and memory disturbances, and farsightedness. Overdosages result in delirium, coma, respiratory paralysis, and death. Low and average dosages have inebriating and aphrodisiac effects.[12][16]
Henbane is toxic to cattle, wild animals, fish, and birds.[12] Not all animals are susceptible; for example, the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including cabbage moths, eat henbane. Pigs are immune to henbane toxicity and are reported to enjoy the effects of the plant




This is what I have been busy pulling / and digging out all year. And for the most part it's my own fault. There were a couple on the place/farm when I bought it and the flower was so cool I took seed pods and busted them open all around the farm.

It's cool, but if I had to create a flower that could kill, it would look just like this!



Quote: Haha! Got lucky... didn't have to look far. Google images "orange wildflower" and was going to put Indiana, but Ohio popped up so went with that. This was the third image.
Also called Orange Touch-me-not, so maybe Twist was right about hoping it's not harmful!
 
touch me not refers to the seed pod. When its "touched" (which I plan on doing a lot of) the pod bursts open releasing its treasures !
