Non-flowering lupins

Hi all - I've got a problem with my lupin plants.  For three years now I've just been getting the leaves with no flowers at all.  Can anyone help?  What's going on?

    Hi Verdun - miraculously no slug/snail damage visible.  Could they only attack roots? Other flowers/shrubs nearby are all OK - it's only the Lupins?  x

    Hi Hollie hock & Verdun - the plants are three years old but quite small leaves - approx. the size of a fag packet.  Never had flowers from them.  Do you think I've got a 'blind' plant, i.e. like you can get 'blind' daffodil bulbs that send up leaves but no flower? x

    hello, that's really odd, have never heard of that before. all my lupins were small when bought two years ago and virtually flowered the same year.

    how tall are they now and have you looked into the centre of the plant to see if there are any flower stalks at all ??

    if it was me, i'd be having a good rummage around the plant if all the others around it are doing ok.

    hope this helps
