Mass death of spiraxus bulbs

Happened to me twice. Looked good going into dormancy, then vanished. I
dug around and there were no rotting remnants. No idea why.
Once with Galanthus nivalis regina-olgae. Just vanished after years of
reliable bloom and multiplication. Second incident was Sauromatum
guttatum / venustum, which had been multiplying very nicely then
vanished never to again appear. Both are ignored by deer, by burrowing
rodents.
No idea why.

intense storm dropped trees and wires. Our power came back 3:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, neighbors further down the road are still out on Thursday. It
may be Friday before theirs is restored

This spring my usually dependable spiraxus bulbs fail to come up. I had a
couple dozen sparaxis tricolor in the ground and they have been spreading
around the yard slowly every year. Different places. Some of them were
found 100 ft away from the original planting this year. Not a single bulb
showed none of the ones that have spread out either, so I'm really curious
what could make the entire genus stop growing? Richard Wagner San Diego
