Dear All; Like Jane I noticed Mike's comments. I had an shallow hillside with a couple hundred Crocus sieberi 'Firefly' naturalized until one year the squirrels found them and there's now only a handful remaining. Coincidentally I inter-planted about a thousand large trumpet daffodils and have had no squirrel problems since. Later I added a hundred of so C. sativus and seen no losses either. However crocus planted individually or in small groups disappear all too quickly due to these tree rats (and voles?). This all seems to point out that squirrels hate daffodils and will avoid even a large area around them. Obvbiously this wouldn't work in pots, but in the ground I recommend it highly.
