Vanishing Bulbs

I have experienced sudden after-dormancy disappearance of Galanthus
nivalis regina-olgae and also Sauromatum guttatum.

In the first instance it was a healthy colony for several years,
multiplying nicely. Looked good going into dormancy then suddenly never
reappeared when its growing season returned.

Sauromatum was also doing quite well, multiplying nicely. Then one year
never awakened after dormancy.

Each time I dug around but there was nothing to discover, no rotten
remnants such as cannas left in the ground over winter.

And now that I think about it - decades ago back in Wilton, Connecticut
all of my Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex' similarly vanished, from
all the several areas where they had been happily growing.

Is a mystery.
