Should I kill my bulbs because they don't flower

Should a bulb that doesn't produce a flower be destroyed?

Doug says - that depends. A bulb that doesn't produce a flower has generally been grown wrong. The flower bud hasn't formed. Lots of reasons why that can happen - many of them at the hands of the gardener and each bulb area and question area has a lot of these kinds of questions/answers as to why this is happening.

So- the realistic answer is that if the gardener isn't going to change the way they garden to help the bulbs flower - then there's no reason to grow the bulbs.

Grow them properly or put them out of their misery. :-)
