So what didn't bloom? The lavender mountain lilies and alpine rosy bells? I'm not familar with these names. Could you clarify.

Generally bulbs that have been planted properly (soil, sun, etc) will bloom. It's possible if they are hardy types they will bloom next year. You may have gotten ones that were kept in storage too long.

Squirrels love to dig up crocus - search posts to find how to keep them.

Perfect example of why it's always a good idea to buy bulbs that you know will thrive in your area, and why, if there is no scientific name listed on the box, to be highly suspicious. On the other hand, they did come up and that's a hopeful sign. I would definitely give them a year or two more before I give up on them. They just might settle in and be glorious. Or, they may die, and save you the trouble of digging them up. :)

I can't think of what the name for the mountain lilies are, I think they resemble camassia. Rosy bells are probably a form of allium. Both may bloom yet, they don't bloom as early as daffs.

Thanks folks, I do actually see blooms forming now ! Almost a month later than the daffs. It seems odd that the mail order company immediately refunded my money instead of telling me that they would bloom later than the others. I looked up the latin names - Allium Oreophilum and Ixiolirion Tataricum.
