What looks like an innocent bloom could be a real troublemaker. Find out why this yellow flower demands respect in your yard.

This plant is growing like wildfire in Missouri right now and any part of it can be lethal to you, your cattle and/or your pets.

Is there not a plant doctor? You know how you'd watch an old cartoon, and someone would faint, and they'd ask, "Is there a doctor in the house?"

If you’re looking for a houseplant that brings color and cheer, the florist’s kalanchoe is a fantastic choice!

If you've seen this plant next to Missouri roads turn red, you're not alone.

It smells like either death, rotting fish, sweaty socks or a combination of all three.

I have been fortunate to have had many dogs in my lifetime in Missouri. I also have no green thumb skills whatsoever and it's probably better that way as I've learned there are many common plants people keep in their homes in the Show Me State that are harmful to animals.

The last time I checked, plants were not allowed to explode. That's one reason why I'm highly concerned about a report that says Missouri is being invaded by an invasive plant that's being described as a "time bomb".

There are certain warning signs of Spring that you might have trouble. One is to see a tree in Missouri that is oozing sap. That could be a sign that a vicious invasive insect is present and causing issues for the ecosystem that could have bad consequences for much more than just the trees in your neighborhood.

But there are quite a few inhabitants that were left on the porch, still.  Now, not all of them will make it.
