It is fenced in and they only allow people in on guided tours since some of the plants are so deadly. All of the plants in the garden have some sort of poisonous quality. They even have cannabis growing in there (in a cage of course). Most of the flowers in the rest of the garden weren't in bloom, but the Poison Garden was definitely worth a visit!

I actually spent part of my childhood growing up in Texas (no, I am NOT a Texan, if anything I'm a Hoosier). And the Texas state flower is the Bluebell. I remember seeing fields of them when I was kid. They really are gorgeous to look it. We even get them around here in Indiana where I live. Great Post!
