Pretty much everything in the Amaryllis Family (Amaryllidaceae) are toxic
to some extent, including Narcissus, Lycoris, Sternbergia, Hippeastrum,
Zephyranthes, Habranthus, etc., so most creatures will not like them.

Tulipa are on the other hand tasty to most varmints, and  I'm not sure
about Hyacinthus, Lilium, and other Liliaceae.  Iridaceae, especully
Crocus, seem to be tasty enougth, too.
