Bulbs
Hi Shirley,
No, they should be fertilized in the fall. Here's an article that explains why. Wishing you the best.

no leave them alone for now; after they die back in fall and return to bulb form then fertilze so they can absorb nutrients when they begin life cycle in coming spring/summer
feed them bone meal at least, it helps with the bulb growth.
