I made a big ERROR. The plant is not in the genus Euphorbia at all, I confused it with another weed that has latex in its sap. That plant is not edible at all. But the one that does taste like watercress is growing like mad now with all the cool rain thatwe get here in western Washington. I can’t eat it all. Sorry for my error.
Sincerely,
Paul Holden

Thanks, Paul. The latest research is that poinsettia isn’t especially toxic to pets. I don’t know about latex in the sap. Appreciate your comment!
