Tiger lily lead ingestion

Snowshoe Siamese 5 years old Neutered 9lbs All shots are up to date No past medical hx

Possibly within the last 6-12 hours my cat ingested the leaves of a tiger lily. It appears that he bit at least 6 leaves. Eating only about half of each leaf. I found fresh vomit on the floor that contained approximately 3 leaves. He is currently active, acting normal, and eating/drinking appropriately. I have given him 2.5 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. And am waiting for him to hopefully vomit. I used to work at a vet clinic. I am devastated that I let this happen. I know full well that he: a) loves to eat plants and b) that tiger lillies are dangerous. It just slipped my mind when I brought them inside. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
