Orchidaceae are a diverse flowering plant that tend to be colorful and have fragrant blooms belonging to the Orchid Family. These beautiful tropical plants come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors, but fortunately, orchids are considered mostly non-toxic to pets with the exception of the Lady Slipper Orchid, which is characterized by it's signature slipper-like pouch on the flower that the plant uses to trap insects.
