I put in some crocuses last autumn. The leaves have shot up over the
last few weeks followed by about 5" of white stem with a flower on top.
But the flower only gets to about 1/3 open before the stem topples over
:-(

This is sandy, well drained slightly alkaline soil. The site is well
sheltered and there has been little frost.

What is it and how do I fix it?

Thanks!
