my damaged papillio

I've had a problem with narcissus bulb fly on two mother bulbs of my beloved papillio. Aproximately 6 weeks ago I injected both bulbs with NEEM oil. Well, over the past two weeks as the days here have gotten longer, one bulb has added almost 3 inches to the 4 surviving leaves it has, one of the center leaves grew out quite a bit of destruction and rot, obvious insect damage. the other bulb has lost all it's leaves but is still firm.
The bulb that has retained it's leaves appears to be making a flower stalk!!!! So, I figure it's either going to be O.K. or it's trying to make seed before the plant dies, survival instinct?
I'll keep you all posted, and provide photos a bit later. Off to school to learn how to give Intra-muscular injections!
Happy growing y'all!
