Most of my crocus have come up with only leaves this year, any idea why?


You haven't been feeding them enough carrots?

Seriously, it's what happened last year which will have determined
whether or not they flower this year, as that is when the flower bud is
made. Is there any reason to suspect some problem in late spring last
year? Is it possible that the bulbs split into smaller plants which
are, as yet, too small to flower?

FWIW, mine have flowered well, and the municipal displays have also been
superb.
