I know from experience that irises, hyacinths, and gladiolus do, but is it common for all bulb flowers to multiply each year?

This is true of all except tulip bulbs. Species tulips will multiply, but the showy Dutch tulips generally need to be replanted each year. To be honest, I'm not sure why this is so!

I think that if bulbs do well they will multiply. But a friend told me that if you cut dutch iris flowers, that they will not bloom the next year, which could make them appear to not be doing well. And if they multiply also depends on other factors--bad weather like conditions too wet or dry or cold and they could die.

As far as I know, all bulb flowers do multiply. I haven't had any bulb flowers that didn't multiply.

Oh my God yes they will multiply, they set off small bulbs by the hundreds, don't plant them in any area you intend to use as a garden, damn things will come up for years!

yes, they put out roots and these roots develop nodules which form small bulbs
