Are daffodils and narcissus flowers poisonus?

is it true?

Are daffodils and narcissus flowers poisonus?
Daffodils and Narcissus are from the same plant family. They are poisonous with the majority of the toxin is contained in the plants bulb. The plant uses its poison to kill off other competing plant life for scarce resources. The bulbs are best suited for poor sandy Lome and diffused light. Never mix cut daffodils with other spring cut flowers.
Reply:yes. and daffodils and narcissius are the same flower. Just different colors in that family.
Reply:The botanically named Narcissus.





Daffodils- which have large leaves and petals and are large


(6cm) bulbs.





Jonquils-small, very fragrant blooms in clusters with tubular foliage.





They have an array of colors from white to orange.





Yes they are poison.





As a cut flower , don't mix narcissus with tulip.
Reply:Yes! I've recommended planting them among tulips so that squirrels don't dig and eat the latter, since the daffodils are toxic. So don't eat them!
