Also, tulips and hydrangeas are very poisonous to cats, FYI

A lot of flowers and plants are! My boyfriend picked me some daffodils from his yard and luckily I googled it and turns out daffodils are toxic to cats as well!

Edit: I decided to Google again and found this ultimate list of plants that are toxic for cats! In the intro it states that for some of these plants only one part of the plant is toxic (i.e. flowers, roots, seeds etc) but the list rules out the entire plant just to be safe (it does not specify which part of which plants are the toxic parts).

Fortunately daffodils fall into upset stomach/vomiting level of toxic and not will literally die level

Yeah a lot of those lists of toxic plants suck because they don't really distinguish between "turns the litterbox into a superfund site when ingested in large quantities" and "deadly to be around".

If your cat isn't one to monch on random plants you can keep a pretty large variety of flowers and plants.

My favorite go-to safe flower is zinnias. Sunflowers are nice but drop a lot of pollen.

Poinsettias are also toxic (and I hate them) so I finally got the mother-in-law to stop bringing them to me at Christmas.
