Tops of some daffodils (three clumps) look burned or charred. They didnt flower this year and the tips of some of the leaves also appear 'burned'. Other daffs near them are unaffected but I am worried lest this 'burning' will spread.

I have noticed that something is eating my Daffodils before they have flowered, its looks like something just bit the top off the bud where the flower is, any idea what this might be?

I bought 2 big bags of daffodil bulbs last Autumn and planted them along the perimeter of my garden. I notice now that although most of the bulbs did produce foliage only a fraction of them have flowers. Apart from buying them cheaply what have I done wrong, and is there anything I can do now eg. feed/add fertiliser to hope they will flower next year.

Are tulips salt loving plant? I live in Galway and i can get seaweeds here as much i want, just i dont know can i use seaweeds for tulips?
