I chilled some beautiful, butterfly daffodils andd did so with a Blue Hyacinth as well from shelf-bought bulbs (chilling in the fridge for about seven weeks) and then planted in pots just slightly larger than the bulbs themselves. The Blue Hyacinth was MAGNIFICENT and filled the house with more perfume than I have ever experienced with any other bulbs in the past.
Anyway, the butterfly daffodils have gorgeous greenery with at least 3 slender leaves from each bulb; but, after awaiting the blooms' coming until the leaves had reached 14" long at the tips with not even a bud in the center, I thought that you good folks may have some advice that would make my bulbs sing and flower whether it was to chop off most or all of the large leaves to FORCE the flowers to show their gorgeous selves at long last or some other method. Please help me save a project which has just taken too long for no real reward. Thanks alot and I really look forward to any "fixes" you might have. Oh, they have been fertilized as instructed by Holland Bulbs, but obviously, to no avail. Please help me before the bulbs energy is entirely spent!
Sincerest Thanks,
Thor
