    Missing parts or whole leaves won't affect the blooms. They do take a while to finally grow from bud to bloom, but that's just the nature of the plant.

    The leaves really do their thing after the blooms have dropped off, as the plant is going dormant. They need to be left on until they turn yellow and fall over so they can soak up sunlight energy to store in the bulbs to provide growth next year.
