Often, flower enthusiasts joke that narcissus is disguised as scallions (meaning it doesn't bloom), and there are really people asking if narcissus leaves can be eaten.

It is said that animals that eat them may experience spasms, pupil dilation, and severe diarrhea, and humans will definitely be poisoned if they eat them.
In fact, it's not just narcissus flowers; other bulbous plants like hyacinths, crinum, and daffodils are also not edible. Never try to eat them, because their toxicity is not a rumor but widely recognized. For edible flowers, make sure to confirm multiple times before consuming them, and never rely on feelings or rumors. There have been many cases of poisoning from ingesting toxic flowers in recent years.
Although narcissus flowers are toxic and cannot be eaten, this does not affect their ornamental value. As long as we don't consume them, keeping narcissus flowers at home is harmless to humans. Just pay attention to supervising children or pets at home.
