Haven't been able to put the bunnies on my grassy garden yet, as I noticed last year that I had ragwort growing there - one good thing came from not cutting my grass for months!
Ragwort is notifiable to ministry of ag if you are a farmer - will check the field behind my house when I can be bothered to find a ladder as there's a 7' wall there...Notifiable because it causes expensive loss of livestock through liver failure. It also tastes nicer when dead with weedkiller, and is still poisonous dead...
Poison can be absorbed through skin so if you see any growing in your garden (you would have to have pretty cheap turf I guess) wear gloves when you dig it up.
Here's a pic of the baby plant

and a pic of the stem - it's about a foot tall or more (but only if you slob out and never cut your grass)
