2 from 6 aint good

Hello, pic shows my crown imperials, all bought at same time about 4 years ago, but 2 have always flowered every year without fail but others show leaf and no flower... what is wrong with them?  Have regularly checked for lily beatle, killed a few but not that many seen to be honest.  Please help.

    The non-flowering ones are probably still building-up their bulbs to flowering size.  To help them along, feed them regularly this year and, with luck, they will flower next year.  Fish, blood and bone sprinkled on the soil around them two or three times a year is good and perhaps also use a liquid feed regularly.  Dosage as per packet/bottle.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
