    Corydalis lutea aka yellow bleeding heart. Toxic to several animals.

    Yellow fumewort (Corydalis flavula). Louisiana native. Mildly toxic in very large doses. I couldn’t find any evidence of dogs or cats ever eating it, though, so it’ll be fine to stay in the garden. Plus, the native pollinators will thank you.

    It’s a good fit for *Corydalis,* best fit seems to be *Corydalis micrantha,* an interesting species native to Louisiana.

    Several related species with equal levels of toxicity are very common around us and I know of no cases of animals being injured. Very many common garden plants are potentially poisonous to pets including daffodils,, pelargoniums, tulips, oaks and ivy. However pets rarely eat them – they generally only eat plants with medicinal effects, a common one is couch grass to induce vomitting if they have stomach issues. Look up zoopharmacognosy.
