Dear Ked, it has been my experience that mixed bulbs usually bloom in stages as they are different types mixed together each having their own preference for blooming. Also, newly planted bulbs ( last fall), will bloom later the first year. I would give them some time before pulling.

Those grab bags of mixed items can be the luck of the draw. I got a "mixed" large trumpet bag....and they are all the same.

Maybe you can give some info on planting conditions and someone more knowledgeable can chime in on why the blooms are small.

Mixed bulbs, especially from a big box store, can be smallish and not a well-formulated mix.

I too would give them more time. The 2nd year should show which are to your taste. I love having a mixture of early and late blooming. Home Depot bulbs have been good for me. Undersized blooms can be caused by many things. Hopefully yours will settle in and show their stuff next spring.

I would give them a second year. I have several doubles and they all perform well in my garden. Tahiti is especially nice and always blooms double.

More bloomed after a good rain. A couple of the larger buds finally opened and they were so big they immediately fell over lol. I looked around my neighborhood and they are comparable in size to other doubles. I think I was expecting something with more of a punch. I cut a few that were lying on the ground. The big ones are pretty, they just can't stand up on their own!

Lovely! I understand your disappointment if you were expecting umph! and got the multi-branched flowers. I love them because they are so charming and delicate, but would be kinda lost all by themselves. Looks like your mix has lots of variety.

Dick, I have seen Tahiti and it is gorgeous. Nice upright manner.

I also have a double like yours(the big yellow one) and they often flop. The flowers are too heavy for the stalks. Sometimes they don't open well.

Tahiti is on the short list for next year, I know what I want, but where to put it all???? I have been seeing a number of them around the area. Funny what you notice when you pay attention! Mantis your Tahiti look great.

Dick the link was quite informative, thank you!

I put in "Ice King" this year and really can recommend.. Reliably doubled, short sturdy stalks with faces looking slightly upwards, has held up to several rains and windy days without falling and seems to last quite a long time.

ked - give them a year or two to see how they do, you might grow to like the smaller blooms.

The small ones look like they might be 'cheerfulness', a daff which (to be honest) kind of underwhelms me. I will give Tahiti a third vote though! I love it. The blooms always open fine whatever the weather, and they don't flop for me.

A terrific garden performer is Jasper Mills. It might be hard to find as it is a newer introduction from my friend Donna Dietsch of Columbus Ohio. Each stem stands erect with the flowers facing up with a very flat perianth. I have had it for a while and look forward every spring to see a clump of it in bloom. Notice the flower density.

I have not had good luck with doubles. Had White Medal, whose buds only opened one year: the other years they just dried up. After half a dozen years I pulled them up and threw them out. I have that looks like Tahiti now: but I noticed today that most of the buds were dried out on that one too. Maybe it is just a Tahiti look-alike...it was from a big box store. I have one (one!) solid yellow double left from an assortment from either Lowe's or Home Depot. All the others fizzled and died after a year or two. From now on, I will only try doubles sourced from a reliable company.

The smaller doubles, on the other hand, like Cheerfulness and Bridal Crown, have been reliable and trouble free. They don't falI over, either. I don't think the smaller doubles shown in the OP's photo are Cheerfulness. The perianth is smaller on Cheerfulness. Easy to find and reliable: I like that!
