worms

I have hairy worms attacking my bulbs. They seem to be in the plants. My beautiful bulb flowered and within the 1st week started drooping. This morning I cut the stem to the bottom and noticed the slimy lava type in the stem. I then started prodding and noticed them in the other plants and around the pots I noticed like tiny black droppings. Please help.

I am uncertain of the pest that is attacking your plants, but caterpillars and worms can be typically killed either by using Bt or neem oil. Here is more information:
