Yup. This is normal for lots of Alliums. They lose, or mostly lose,
(sort of collapse) their leaves before flowering. Don't cut them off as
they are helping to feed the bulb as they die back. You can cut them out
once yellowed and no more use to the bulb. A foliar feed wouldn't do any
harm whilst they're still green.



Many thanks to you and Charlie.
