Terry asked about gopher-resistant bulbs. No gophers here in New Jersey but I do have voles (think midget gophers that make up the volume with numbers, rather than individual size.) That's the below-ground pest. Above ground are deer, groundhogs, and rabbits. Jane, no malamutes. Fog cat takes on voles and rabbits, hunters in the neighborhood take the occasional deer. That's not much help - there were six does in my garden two days ago. In general: anything in the Amaryllidaceae, such as the Narcissus Terry mentioned, also Galanthus, etc. are not eaten above or below ground. Anything in the Araceae, including Arisaema, Arum, Arisarum, and so on are not eaten above or below ground. Canna are not eaten above ground but voles will eat the rhizomes. Ranunculaceae - I grow Anemone blanda, A. flaccida, A. nemorosa, A. ranunculoides and have not notices any predation above or below ground. Fritillaria are untouched above and below ground: F. imperialis and F. meleagris increasing nicely, F. pallidiflora holding its own but not increasing. Hyacinths apparently not eaten out in the garden which is interesting as potted bulbs in the garage for forcing are gnawed by mice. Chionodoxa, Muscari, Pushkinia, Scilla all appear to be pest-resistant both above and below ground. I'm interested to see what others have to say.
