A bulb is something you plant in the autumn, never to be seen again

Well I normally don't plant Bulbs I use them for lights?????????????? I thought that was what they where for I didn't realise they grow into flowers I only have white ones does that mean I get white Flowers ??

I would imagine you have something in your garden which gnaws away at the bulbs, or the roots they produce. My bulbs thrive from year to year. This year particularly, I've had a great show of daffodils, tulips, snowdrops and bluebells. They seem to multiply year after year. So, I'm not sure... often you will get an odd bad one in a number of them, but you shouldn't lose them all, unless you have an invader, or perhaps the soil isn't quite right. I hope you have more luck next time. Maybe test the ph of the soil and then consult your bulb pack to see which soils they like best, or alternatively, dig a hole for them, and drop some bulb compost into it, to help them on their way.

Hi Shelagh, Yes this happens to me as well in regards to beautiful, coloured flowers when they are in season you will find that they look wonderful but after the season has completed then unfortunately they die but they should come back again in the next season. That is why you have to trim them back so that you will receive them again the next season round.

Sometimes when you plant your bulbs you will get a bad bulb and it will rot in the ground, which isn't such a bad thing as it will add nutrients to the other survivors. Also squirrels and chipmunks love to dig out bulbs and steal them away for a nice little snack. If you would like to discourage this from happening you can put moth balls around your bulbs. The small critters don't like the smell and won't steal your bulbs. I don't know how environmentally friendly this is and I have never tried this myself but my aunt swears by it. I coudln't grow a cactus let alone any pretty flowers. (lol).
