Energy by fertilising
The main requirement for bulb flowers in the post-bloom period is to leave the leaves alone so the plant can put its energy into "recharging" its bulb for next spring's performance.

This food is stored in the bulb's "scales," the white fleshy part of the bulb, for use next year.
