Sudden Daff problems
 

This has occurred with some of my older daffs in the last few days

I can't say I've ever seen anything like it before,

They have had nothing applied either as liquid or as any form of fertilizer.
Anyone got any ideas?

Not familiar with it, but it looks a bit fungal to me. I have visitors
tomorrow, but will check my reference books for anyingthing similar when
they've gone.

Did they flower at all? I know we had a similar problems with daffs
under the cedar tree here and I was given the name of a disease that
had affected them. I'm afraid I can't remember the name but it caused
the leaves to emerge and almost immediately turn brown from the tips
downwards and of course, there were no flowers.

If you look at the second picture you will see the flower stems still a
solid green.
