Thank you Mariava7.
Should I dig up all the bulbs and check as I read on the net that Stagnospora curtisii will attack the bulbs. Now part of the bulbs above soil all are ok.

My case at first the symptom was start from the tips of the leaves like sun burn and it was rain last Friday and Saturday. Then I saw fungus on the leaves tips and it spread real fast as shown in the pictures above.
