Apropos my earlier comments on california wild flowers and deer, we now have lupins, a prostrate mallow, and bryony (no doubt poisonous to deer as well as people). But I guess the main defence of all these pretty flowers is that there is also lots and lots of very green lush grass!
Importing poison oak to the UK is probably illegal.....
Probably. But I have been seriously thinking of skunk cabbage, only partly because I rather like it; but also because deer are supposed to dislike strong smells. The other possibility is starting a research programme to splice daffodil genes into things, because deer don't eat daffodils.
Would piling brushwood/twigs over things work till they got bigger?
Well, I suppose it might. Though I would believe anything of the deer's energy and persistence. The problem with the erythroniums was that they were in bud, and I am not sure if they would have actually flowered underneath twigs. Nothing for it but wire, I think, even if only the sort of ridiculous little fortification that someone has just the other side of the Caledonian Canal bridge on the way to Fort Augustus: a neat wood and wire structure about 2 metres squared, with a stile, all to protect a patch of crucuses.
