I don't think so Alice. They were all planted in pots & this one bloomed in June & is having a second flush now but nothing else ever put up any leaves. The rhizomes felt a little soft when I planted them so I suspect they had started to rot. I have decided I am only going to plant dependable natives from now on - life is too short for lifting bulbs & replanting them every year!

Was it too wet? They may bloom next year. Here, we never have to dig them up.
