Sounds like the scapes were much too old, as others have said. I always
cut off the papery tip above the "bud" because there's not much substance
there.

I usually picked them within 1 week of appearing, was that too late?
Saw nothing "papery" above the bud, just the casing or "tail" of what
would eventually have become the flower (did that make sence?).

Thanks.
