Yoy never said if they were left to die back fully or were cut off

Some of ours, under the big cedar tree, have developed a disease, the name
of which I can never remember. But it means that the leaves come up every
year but with very few flowers. Ray has been spraying that area with
something to feed the daffs because what happens is that the foliage comes
up but starts to die back very quickly indeed, going brown at the tips
within days.
This year, there does seem a very slight increase in flowers. Mere feet
away, the others are flowering madly. I do wonder if it's anything to do
with being under the tree but OTOH the spring and autumn cyclamens do well
and the bluebells are starting to flower. I'll try to remember to ask Ray
what he's been using and post the name here just in case it's useful in this
case or any other.
