    Hi all,

    just wondering if anyone knows (google wasnt that successful) - all the flowers on my daffodils have been eaten - just on one side, but down the middle of the flower (hard to describe it, it looks like something just took a single bite down one side of the flower). Any ideas what could cause that? I sprayed some bug killer, but it hasnt helped. ;-(

    Cheers,

    galah

    Have seen a type of Caterpillar eating the flowers and leaves. No Idea what it was... and was surprised to see this, as the leaves and bulbs contain a poison lycorine

    yeah, that's what I thought, too. Really bizarre if you ask me...
    I'll try and take a picture, but my lovely daffodils have been decimated...;-(
