Description

Also known as wood sorrels, false shamrock is a species of flowering plants that can be found throughout most of the world. The leaves look similar to shamrocks or clovers except larger and more triangular, and the flowers are deeply veined, ranging in various colors from white to pink, yellow, and so on.

For Your Pet

False shamrock plants are very bitter, deterring most animals away from eating them. However when ingested, symptoms of oxalis poisoning may include diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, choking, kidney failure, tremors, and can seriously harm cats dogs, rabbits, and other small animals.

Warning

Do not feed your pet false shamrock as it can cause serious illness and possible death.
