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.

Judy Glattstein in Alexandria Township New Jersey where Tuesday's 
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
