Blind daffodils this year, why??

I planted many daffodil bulbs in fall 2006 which bloomed nicely during spring 2007. This year, most of them are blind. I have read that too much water (some are in parts of my yard that can accumulate water if we have torrential rains) could be the problem. Any other thoughts?? Thanks.

Blind daffodils this year, why??
The first season after planting, bulbs rely on the energy and nutrition that is stored in the bulb. After that they rely on the gardener to give them supplemental feeding. You won't get any blooms this year, but I'd suggest you fertilize them this fall with a good time-release fertilizer and water it in well. You should end up with blooms next year.
