Small, pretty and deadly, the spread of this cattle-killing flower has graziers expecting tragedy

It might look like a pretty flower, but this tiny plant causes big trauma for south-west Queensland cattle producers.

www.abc.net.au

Queensland cattle graziers predict 'horrific' cattle deaths as toxic pimelea booms​

"Because of the heart not being able to pump, it leaks fluid out into all the body cavities."

It was a gruesome end for the animal, and a traumatic experience for the graziers trying to nurse them.
