Camassia fail

[sesquipedalia]

I planted a ton of camassia bulbs last year and to my dismay but a single one has popped up. My neighbours display (where I got the idea from...) is just beginning so I assume mine are lost. Any idea why before I waste my efforts having another go?

Can you remember where your, planted them?id have a furtle and see what’s there. They might just be slow .... bu5 I’d expect them by now. Beg a couple in bloom from the neighbours? And try again.

I got some from my dad, but they seem rather short lived flowers, to me.

They're amongst all my daffs and tulips so I know where they should be! I wonder if they've been too cold or if I planted them at the wrong depth?

Do they have any leaves? Mine look like spiders trailing on the ground. Last year I thought they werent going to flower then one day I saw a tiny flower starting on its way up! I bought the blue/purple ones but they all came up white. They were obviously mis-labelled but the white ones come up later I think. They like it to be wet so maybe after all this rain you may get some flowers.
Mine are still like spiders on the ground at the moment but I think theyll be up in June.

I planted some in autumn 2019 and none of them came up in 2020. I got them from Farmer Gracy and everything else that I’ve received from them has been amazing, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the bulbs. Last year I wondered whether it was just too dry. Can’t be the same this year though!
