I really don't mind about the daffodils, but we WILL
have a talk before the IRISES bloom!! 

Betty,
Those two-legged varmints can be worse than the other
kinds. ;0) I shudder when I think of the frustrations
of a hybridizer facing these predations.

But, I had a thought while reading your posting. When
you have your talk with them; keep in mind that maybe
they're "ripe" to be converted into mini-iris-people.
They obviously have an interest (however destructive)
in flowers. With a little coaching... they might
really enjoy helping you out with hybridizing or even
growing some irise of their own (culls from your
patches).

Let us know how it goes. And good luck. Tom
