Colocasia and other potentially unwell plants

I have Colocasia Esculenta and Pink China, as well as Hedychium, a dark Canna, and Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy in pots in the sunny part of my east facing Southern garden. So far this year I am staring at bare earth, despite most of them spending winter in the shed (I have no greenhouse), and all having a thick mulch. Is anyone else finding the same ?. Are they just late or knackered ? . I have another canna that has come up, and a Musa Bajoo that; was in the ground has re appeared around the edge of the old one

    It was very cold this winter, so they may just be late, or could have rotted.
    All my Cannas and Colocasias are growing, but I start them indoors. My Eucomis is also growing, that is in a cold g/h.

    They have probably rotted away, all my eucomis have gone with plenty of other plants stored inside cold gh. I'd tip them out of the pots and have a look see if they is anything left
