When were they planted? Are they overcrowded? Did you allow the leaves to turn completely brown before removing them last year?

Removing the seed pods after bloom gives the bulb more energy to store in the bulb for next year, resulting in better bloom the year after. However, I don't think allowing the seeds to ripen would halt bloom production entirely.

Also, you're in Zone 7, so is it possible that it's just too early for the daffies to bloom?

We planted 150 daffs two Novembers ago - last spring, all of them bloomed, I always let the foliage go brown/yellow and just assumed this year they would bloom as they did the year before...

Well, that did not happen. I never did remove the seed pod, but you may not think it is that... so I wonder... Anyway, I feel like digging the ones that didn't bloom and planting new ones in the fall - but wondered if maybe there is a chance they could bloom again, as they did the first year. (That's my dilemma - )

Maybe those that didn't bloom are babies and some of the adults died off or rotted. I would fertilize now and see what happens next year. And add more in the fall, if you have room. Digging sounds like a lot of work!
