More about Daffodils!!
 

My wife has asked me to put this query to you....

She has a clump of daffodils in our front garden (about a dozen). This year
& last, they have grown plenty of leaves - but not a flower in sight!!

Yesterday, they looked pretty deflated after the sudden wintery weather but
today they are again fully erect, albeit totally flower-less!

Any ideas what's happening??

Probably not planted deep enough, and ask her what feed she provides for
them when they are in leaf. Hint! :-)

Or they could need dividing if they have become too overcrowded

Isn't there some daff pest which can leave bulbs flowerless?

Yes. It's affecting masses of ours under one tree - we think - and I'm
trying to remember the name of it. But IIRC, it's a disease, not a pest.
