Murder Among the Daffodils


Dragging a body through the daffodils.   This one was a bleeder!!!  His blood sprayed all over the place.  He was watering the flowers with his sticky blood.  If you ask me this victim was a bit Daffy!!! 
Mr. Tiddles needed to end his life before he created anymore chaos.  Daffy would scour local pubs for ladies and take them back to his place for a poke and then a choke.  He would choke the life out of these hapless vixens.  Daffy was not noble nor grand.  He needed to be stopped dead in his tracks.  One nasty stab in the jugular began the spraying of his blood.   The flowers needed their nutriments.  At least his final act on Earth was useful...  

All Narcissus varieties (i.e. daffodils) contain the alkaloid poison lycorine, mostly in the bulb but also in the leaves.

On 1 May 2009, a number of hikers fell ill at Gorseland Forest in Martlesham Heath, England after adding a daffodil bulb to soup during a cookery outing. The bulbs could often be confused with onions, thereby leading to incidents of accidental poisoning.
