Ann, I wonder if your noid is Avalanche? Sure looks like it- lovely! That's one that doesn't perform well here- they require so little chill time they always try to grow during warm spells of winter only to get frozen to mush.

Daffs can sometimes do puzzling things. Your non blooming Geranium reminds me of what happened here with Topolino, a miniature trumpet. They bloomed as expected the first spring, but the 2nd I only saw 1 bloom from 10 bulbs. Now they're in full bloom and look beautiful! I have no clue what the problem was. The only cause I can think of is if I let neighboring plants completely shade the leaves when they needed sun, I just can't recall that happening there....Oh well, glad they're back Hurray!
