Bulbs didnt grow

Very odd...........every year I always plant some new bulbs/seeds.
This year, only 3 bulbs have sprouted, and I have no idea why!

I had about 5 different types, in different pots. I have dug them up today, and they are still intact, just a bit wet (but the soil is wet).

Nothing is different to what I normally do, the pots are in the same place as always etc!

Any idea what can cause them all not to grow?!
I'm a bit dissapointed, because i'm at home all summer ill, I thought I would have nice flowers to look at

Try sprouting them on a tray with a watering mat then planting them up when they sprout.

Well mine have grown but no flowers. they are Iris' does anyone know when they flower, no sign of any buds yet just lots of green foliage.

Mine have been and gone, just finished dead heading them.

Well that's what I thought, there a spring flower, so what's gone on there then? suppose I will have to wait until next year

I don't know Elaine cos mine are quite rampant tbh. and all I've ever done is plant them and left them to it.

It could be that you are planting the bulbs too deep in the soil.
Thats what i was told, when mine didn't grow or flower, so i replanted them the year after not as deep and they all flowered bar one.
