I have many bulbs Stargazer bulbs directly from the Netherlands that I planted 15ish years ago. They have ALWAYS been show stoppers with their blooms. This year, the stems/leaves are all up & seemingly doing well, but there don't appear to be any buds coming along. They typically bloom sometime in June here. Just contemplating what's up. Thoughts??

It's hard to know what is going on. It's possible that they have become too crowded and are clumping. Have you been dividing them on a regular basis? Typically it's needed every 3-4 years. The best time to divide them is in the Fall. The link below provides more information on Stargazer lilies.

Good luck to you with your lilies. Hopefully you will have beautiful blooms again next season.
