Default lack of stem on tulips, daffodils, hyacinths

Can't be. We've had a colder than normal winter. Not much by the way
of snow, but definitely cold. FWIW, my neighbor had that happen to some
of her daffodils last year. It was fine the year before, and looks like
it will be fine this year.

Maybe they froze solid too quickly and didn't have enough
cold-but-not-frozen time? Stems that don't elongate is a lack of dormancy
problem. *Something* went wrong this past winter.

Best regards,
