Marilyn.. No it is different than soft rot Botyrtis looks like a grey mold on the bulb and is real distinctive I can spot it quickly now that I know what I'm looking for when you grab the leaves the top pops off in your hand and it has almost a freeze dried look to he bulb, what I had last year was different it was a dark brown rot with no smell and I am guessing it is what is described as winter kill although it may be some form of Botrytis as well but I could not find much information on it anywhere. I have some of both this year again in pockets will take some pictures tomorrow so you can see the difference and yes lot's of pictures of seedlings if anything is interesting in there
