Mock Orange

 Do not Feed
  • Common Name: Mock Orange
  • Latin Name: Philadelphus coronarius
  • Family Name: Hydrangeaceae
Although there are no known hazards, Mock Orange is rich in saponins.  The plant can be used in soap and polishes; so probably one to avoid, but not to worry if the blossom is accidently eaten.

Do not confuse with Mexican Orange Blossom (Choisya ternata), sometimes called Mock Orange, or with Deutzia, which can look similar.
