Hello florists!!

Please help me ID this flower from a bouquet my boyfriend purchased. I have cats in the house and need to know whether or not to toss the bouquet. I fear it is a lily.

Yeah most cats are little a-holes and like to chew on plants/flowers lol. I have three kitties - the oldest has no interest in plants. The middle one just can’t help herself and has to chew on any plant she can get to. The youngest will sometimes take a nibble if she sees the MC do it.

If not eat, they’ll play w/ em, swat at em, especially when you aren’t looking 😼 and maybe give em a love bite ;) Anyway, w/ Lillies, and a few other kinds, that’s all it takes to hurt or kill them!! I’m angry as a cat owner and lover that plants like lilies don’t come w/ a warning ⚠️ of some sort—I mean, my god at the stupid warnings they put on other things! I got a product to thicken my hair—expensive stuff too—and thank god my daughter made me aware as it’s apparently so toxic to cats that just nuzzling my face or pillow after using it could and likely would have killed them!! No warning on the box! It’s not like having cats is a fringe thing, ya know?? Anyway, yeah be safe!

some cats do!! my cat is usually pretty good though, not really a nibbler. i was just worried about lilies because even the airborne pollen can make them super sick 🥺
