My tee tee daffodils dont stand up straight ??

I planted some tee tee daffodils for my mother in law as she lost her only daughter unexpectedly this year. The daffodils are in flower but wont stand up straight. I wonder why. The weather is cold. Any ideas ??

Doug says that first of all he has no idea what a tee tee daffodil is - and the Net didn't seem to help me out too much. And I'm not sure what "stand up straight" means. Daffodil flowers curve at the neck and some varieties actually have their flowers pointing downwards. So if you mean why are the flowers not standing straight up or pointing outwards, it might very well be the variety.

If the entire plant or stems are laying on the ground, then the only times I've seen this are either weather related (smashed to the ground by storms) or sometime high nitrogen fertilizer that push the plant way too fast and you wind up with soft growth that falls over. Way too much shade, overwatering and over feeding will cause this in combination.

Most bulb diseases simply kill the bulb or stop flowering.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
