Admittedly, I am far from an expert on flowers but I'm pretty sure this is a Narcissus. It is the last of my "bulb" blooms to open, and the aroma is beyond bliss.

(5,061 posts)They're supposed to discourage the deer from eating your tulips, but no guarantees.
I think what you're saying is that if your tulips are mixed in among the daffodils they may not eat the tulips.
Deer and other animals will not eat daffodils because the plant contains a toxin.

These are just too good... Are we being spoofed here ? Is this photo a internet stock photo by a professional photographer, and you are just pulling our leg ?
I thought I saw this same picture in National Geographic last month.... This must be a joke. I am not amused ! Why can't people be more honest today ?

(26,251 posts)The kids finally cajoled me into swapping out my old flip phone but not enough cajoling for me to splurge. Regardless of the price, I've been very impressed with the photo quality it produces.
The weather has been cool so there are still buds waiting to open. I can't wait until the whole bunch are in bloom. I'm going to thin them, this year, and move some up to the front garden. I hope to get a group shot of Narcissus, Tulips and Daffodils, next Spring. Plus, the scent is heavenly and makes weeding a much less onerous chore.

Sorry if I came across distrusting.
