I have noticed the same thing. I have more D. filiformis filiformis than I
can shake a stick at and only one D. fili tracyi made it through the winter.
Also the D. fili fili are sending up multiple flower stalks and the D. fili
tracyi has not flowered in two years. However, I'm also here in NJ, USA.
