There are very few daffodils blooming this year. Usually, I have hundreds in back and nearly as many in the front. There were daffodils when we moved here 30 plus years ago and I keep expanding them. The flowers have been over crowded for years, so I don't think that's it. One of the old cemeteries in Cleveland has a spot called "Daffodil Hill" with, I guess thousands of them. I saw an article saying that the cemetery has the same issue.

I know exactly what whomped mine: the whiplash weather. We've had multiple days that went from high 80sF to freezing at night, and we've had a lot of unseasonably warm days interspersed with hard freezes down to 20s. Even the daffodils that managed to bloom have mostly flopped over. *sigh*

Some of mine are decades old too. :D The longest-lived seem to be plain yellow trumpets and Ice Follies. A few of the fancy ones stick around but they are less durable.

I'd like to take that as the answer, but all my plants look very healthy, just not many buds. Hoping it's not another sign of climate change.
