I think it looks like a type of buttercup, apparently its okay if nibbled but shouldn't be purposefully fed. Search for buttercups on here as others have posted about them

Thanks Doodle,
Have just done a search and seen a few pics similar to mine!! Generally the consesus is toxic. I was thinking along the buttercup line also!! I wont let them near it from now on!! If it is toxic then I will add to the toxic list thread! |
