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

You nailed it Neal! Avalanche it is! I was just out looking at them, bent down to that luscious fragrance and counted. Between open blooms & buds yet to open.....I counted 16. It came to my mind "the seventeen sisters". I came back in here to look it up & found your post.
I actually got some of these bulbs from Van Englen but they didn't do anything at all. They have disappeared. So it turns out I have them anyway!
