What happens when I plant daffodil bulbs (too) late?

Last year I reported on what happened when my tulip bulbs went in later than any self-respecting gardener should admit. I got full-sized leaves but a teeny, tiny flower.

You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no. Sure enough, what turned up a few weeks ago, but the remains of a bag of daffodil bulbs. So, I bunged them in some time around the beginning of March.

You can see what happened.  This time, there's a full size flower, but no leaves and a three-inch stalk. I think we can deduce that, if we don't let bulbs gather momentum over winter, then something's got to give.

Incidentally, the tulips have come up quite normally since.
