Reply to comment by pala4833 in Small herd of black tail deer came through yesterday…Rural Port Angeles by lilyth-amicia

I feed them only the best roses and lilies.

They’ve been very active here since the rain returned. I’ve been watching neighbors chase after their hunting dogs they were walking off leash because they’ve forgotten how many deer there are in our area.

Aren’t lilies poisonous? I want to put stools next to the plants I would like them to prune a bit more.

Depends on who’s doing the eating and what part of the plant. People can and do eat some parts of some lilies. Deer and rabbits consider them tasty snacks, especially flower buds right before they open.

Cats can’t eat any part AFAIK.

I knew people ate hostas I didn’t know they ate lilies. I used to eat my great aunts Tropicana roses…

It’s mating season for deer so be extra careful around the bucks. They get really brave/dumb this time of year.
