Thanks

Good Lord.....they're just a wild flower , they grow all along our pasture on the Red Deer river, never killed a cow yet! they were my Grandma's favourite..breathe in , breathe out! :wink: :lol:
Warning: DO NOT eat the “beans” or any other part of this plant. Golden bean contains poisonous alkaloids that may cause children to become very ill and is suspected of causing death in livestock[/quote].
I read this earlier form the same site as OT posted and have been paranoid ever since. They are everywhere except the hay fields.
Thanks YanuckI have faith that you know what you are talking about and can now perhaps take a deep breath without hyperventilating. :lol:
Will still try to eradicate as many as possible in the pastures ,although it says that they provide pollen for many different species of butterflies and for honey bees. Can't seem to win no matter how hard we try. :???:
