Which of these bulbs should be discarded after blooming once?
They could all flower again as has been stated. To do this often requires more effort than is really viable. We are often seeking to reproduce the near perfect blooms that have nee created by growers in computer controlled artificial environments.





However, Paperwhites, (type of Narcissus), and Hyacinth are often 'pre-treated' to enourage or synchronise blooming. Hyacinth blooms in particular are not as good after the first flowering. Tulips can quite soon develop virus problems and many buy fresh each year. Iris, (presume you mean the Dutch Iris), are similar to those first described in that they are bred and fed to be gorgeous the first year but they then pale over successive years.





Of the others, with care and feeding they will come again. Try to see exactly what species or variety of bulb you have and read up about the conditions it needs to thrive. If you have these then half the work will be done for you as the bulbs will be happy. Don't waste your time with those that will be too much effort as you may fail and then be frustrated at the lack of success.





Bear in mind that I am in Scotland and your conditions will be very different to mine. Cheers
Reply:None, with proper care, they will all bloom again.
Reply:I wouldn't discard any of them. Plant them out.
Reply:None, the beauty of all of them is that they will bloom and return year after year (within reason, not forever) if planted properly
