For those who love colorful spring bulb flowers but are plagued by flower-devouring deer or bulb-chomping squirrels, voles and other critters, there is a solution. And it doesn’t involve smelly sprays, expensive fencing or firearms. Just switch to bulbs that taste bad, say the experts at Colorblends.com.

Two New Colorblends
Editorial Image Galleries
New this fall: two image galleries for editorial use: Daffodils and Deer- and Rodent-Resistant Bulbs. Both feature hi-res downloadable images, most sized 2400 x 3600 pixels and larger (approx. 8-inches by 10-inches at 300 dpi and up).
Daffodils are prized as spring bloomers that deliver weeks of Rapture, Yellow Cheerfullness, Pink Charm and more. Perhaps best of all, deer and rodents leave daffodils alone because they contain a bitter alkaline called lycorine that animals know to avoid. Other bulbs that critters don't like include alliums, camassia, snowflakes, snake's head, starflowers, winter wolf's bane and more.
