Wow!  Was I surprised to read in the Western Garden Book that a plant that
my wife and I were considering buying for landscaping was listed with
"poisonous nectar!"  Have any of you heard of such a thing?  The plant is
called Pieris (Genus) and is in the Ericacea family.  It is an evergreen
shrub and has flowers that look similar to Vaccinium.
 
I'll be interrested to hear what you all think about this.
