Mass death of spiraxus bulbs

I had the same thing happen in my San Diego area garden about a decade ago, Richard. Sparaxis always returned - until they didn't. There was no evidence of their being eaten and they definitely were not overwatered. I've never figured it out.

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
