I've never encountered the problem illustrated though occasionally a few buds go black. My first impression from the descriptions is a drainage problem. I use very large pots and really crowd the tubers to achieve the density I like when blooming. Before putting the potting soil in I fill the bottom quarter of the container with styrofoam peanuts to assure excellent drainage (practice also makes the pot's weight more manageable). Mine are usually watered daily.
