I've had alot eaten this spring, by slugs. They didn't get a hard winter to thin their numbers, and the mild weather has them out earlier than normal. They've eaten alot of my buds, before they opened up.
Look for telltale marks from the offenders - slugs leave a shiny slime trail, that can last for a few days. Otherwise, it could be insects, or larger animals, such as mammals.
Good luck! Rob

wow, $20 for eating a daffodil and not even paid, you might want to get that money. Daffodil plants are poisonous because they contain toxic alkaloids. When consumed, daffodil flowers may cause abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, stomach upsets and in some cases convulsions if eaten in large quantities.

Any large hoofed animal, like the Donkey who lives next door to my friend however fluffy little bunnies (good eating) could be public enemy No1 in your case. Prepare a pie dish with some nice veg then get the little buggers.

Possibly rabbits, moles, or deer.
Did you have a hard freeze after the bloom formed? If you did, this may have caused the bloom to drop off.

Squirrels are the culprit.
