Is the South American Walking Iris toxic to pets?

Dear Sarah,
A flowering plant, South American Walking Iris (Neomarica gracilis) is a member of the Iris family. Certain members of the Iris family have less toxic potential than others. This appears to be true in the case of Neomarica—the plant is not known to cause gastrointestinal irritation as severely as other Iris family members.
With that said, it’s still a good idea to discourage your pets from nibbling on Neomarica to avoid any gastrointestinal effects.
