Is it a bad year for daffodils?
The majority of mine are blind. Ilive in the W.Surrey,
Woking area.
Thanks.

Yes, seems it is - its possible the very dry weather in the south last summer contributed, together with the very mild winter we've had.

No problems here, except for the usual losses from Narcissus root fly which kills about half of what we have every year.

Rather early to tell. Most bulbs around my garden and my neighbourhood are still to break - I had my first Daff bloom out last Wednesday.

most of mine look to be fine. I have lots showing good leaves and buds about 2" tall at the moment. But I did feed and water in the dry spells last spring/summer.

Like SBG mine seem fine

No problems with ours agree with Bamboo the problem was lack of water last summer and a mild winter.

our daffs are all out ,have got really good display, dont know if they were well looked after as we only moved in october.I think they probably were as the garden is nice, in fact it is very exciting seeing what we have, lots of nice helibores .Also lots we cant identify as yet
