Native Floridians know Wild Poinsettia, a spurge, to be mildly poisonous and prevent their pets from foraging on the plant. Walking through a field of Wild Poinsettia in shorts could also lead the plant's milky sap to be deposited on one's legs causing irritation. It is best to enjoy this wildflower from some distance.
