This has occurred with some of my older daffs in the last few days

I can't say I've ever seen anything like it before,

They have had nothing applied either as liquid or as any form of
fertilizer.
Anyone got any ideas?

Did they flower at all? I know we had a similar problems with daffs
under the cedar tree here and I was given the name of a disease that had
affected them. I'm afraid I can't remember the name but it caused the
leaves to emerge and almost immediately turn brown from the tips
downwards and of course, there were no flowers.


If you look at the second picture you will see the flower stems still a
solid green.
