Hi John and welcome to GoY. Did you by any chance remove the foliage before it had died back or tie it into a knot? The bulb needs the foliage to help make the following years flower bud. It can also help to give the foliage a half strength weekly feed of liquid tomato food once flowering has finished and before the foliage dies back.

I have the same problem. I don' do anything to the leaves and I feed them once the flowering is over and I still get nothing. I was going to dig them up this year and spread them out a bit. This is their last chance. The leaves look great.

What are your soil conditions like Linda? I always plant ours fairly tightly and, to be honest, we only feed the ones that are in pots far to many in the ground.

Same thing happened here and i did nothing different from usual - perhaps the weather?
