@ Dennis -

Hypoxis hirsuta sounds great, but is it toxic? The more toxic the better! I've recently sown seed for a few species of Aconitum and have two species of Toxicoscordion (formerly Zigadenus, see the PBS wiki for updated taxonomic info on it). Amaryllids are also nice, but I have far too few. I just planted Leucojum last fall, I struggle with success with Galanthus.

Though all Amaryllidaceae are considered toxic, do deer eat any of them in gardens (besides a nibble)?
