Daffodils

Has there been a revolution in the daffodil world?

We have become particularly interested in them, as we have been told that they are vegetables of which the deer not bites. (Quotation, sort of; look it up.) But when I went to the Peter Nyssen website I was surprised and perturbed to discover that they do not sell bulbs for autumn planting. Surely that used to be what one did? Have I read the information wrongly? If it is true, we have missed a whole season. Grinding of teeth, flashing of eyes, general appearance of samurai in frightening 19th century Japanese print. Ah - no. Thank you, Janet. I have misread it. But now I am perturbed because Nyssens don't have the exact daffodils I want. So there may be some transplanting of the ones we have in St Andrews.

When we manage to get some, I rather favour the wild sorts, and also jonquils, which we have flowering at St Andrews now. They smell gorgeous.

I am off to check whether there are other plants disliked by deer. I think there is a list of reasonably deer proof plants in the Glendoick book.
