What not to plant

Now Rusty about my blind daffodils?
Which blind daffodils?
I don't even know what they are - never even heard of them that I
unforget. I'm sure I haven't got any...
Three years ago I mass planted daffodil bulbs on every available space.
I also planted clumps of snowdrops in the green. The first year they
flowered fit to bust. It was a sight to warm the cockles of Wordsworth's
heart. Same with the snowdrops. This year in an area we affectionately
call the *wild garden* the daffodils once again flowered and some are
still flowering very well but in other areas I have just clumps of green
leaves, no flowers. In that same area, the snowdrops have multiplied and
flower prolifically. Have I mistakenly called these flowerless plants,
blind?
Why does this happen, and is there something I can do to make them
flower as before?
