Hello!!! I have a possible answer...... Normally those types of bulbs might have been planted in the fall and then would establish roots until winter hit. Then in the
spring they wake up and push up the greenery and then the
flower, their cycle maybe just off kilter...??? Have to root and do the work of
spring stuff too!!! Also the dirt may have been a factor.... Did you use potting soil or regular garden dirt or????? Could be a factor....Also those bulbs need a cold period to kick them into action and say to them wake up!!!! If you kept them in another area until you planted them they may not have gotten the correct signal to grow right.
May I ask what the reason is for "Not gardening like others"? May be I can help you with some sites to visit!!!!!
Another thing I just discovered, Just this
spring is something I'm still experimenting on but I watch the QVC shopping channel a bit and on there they have something called "Spray-n-grow"~ micronutrient spray and it seems to be very nice extra boost some
plants need. You mix it up with warm water, let it sit for 15 minutes and spray the leaves with it and it seems to give the
plants an extra helping hand...It's all natural and is not too pricey!!!
Let me know if anything helped or if I can help with some sites to visit.
