FAQ
Are yesterday-today-and-tomorrow, lady of the night, and Brunfelsia all the same plant?
Yes — one plant, one record, many labels. The ASPCA has six separate entries that all point to "Brunfelsia species" and repeat the same text word for word: Brunfelsia; Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow; Lady-of-the-Night; Morning-Noon-and-Night; Franciscan Rain Tree; and Paraguayan Jasmine. Kiss-Me-Quick appears as an alias on all of them. Pet Poison Helpline files it under "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow." Whatever the tag says, the record is the same: "Tremors, seizures (for several days), diarrhea, vomiting, hypersalivation, lethargy, incoordination, coughing" — S3 Toxic. If a pet has chewed any plant sold under these names, call your vet right away, and go immediately if you see tremors, stumbling, or a seizure.
