No, no, George, it's how you say it that matters.

.... CROCK YOUSE .... CROAK YOUSE ..... we're coming to get you! These must be more threatening than any CROW CUSS!

Well the full set is:-

Aster.
Bellis.
Crocus.
Lobelia.
Myosotis.
Narcis.
Primula.

Six have a 20mm 90cal AA and Myosotis only has two 12.7mm Machine Guns.
So they are not going to attack you with much!

I don't know, a combined attack from upwind by CROCUS, NARCIS and PRIMULA could overpower any enemy with the scent alone ....
