It sounds as if they may have been fertilized wrongly? Or maybe are in
too rich of a soil that is producing the greenery and not the flower.
Would it be advisable to fertilize these with a high number on the
flowering area and a low number in the greenery? I know some of the
plants I have suggest put into the ground say not to fertilize because
it would hinder the flowering and just give you lush greenery.
Also, did you think since they are now taunting you that maybe they
just come out when you aren't looking and duck back when you come
around? Daisy's are like that, they have a great sense of humor ;-)
