    I had the bulb rom the winter of 2011. Last summer the leaves came out nicely and so did this summer. But no blooms yet. I brought the pot indoors during the winters. It is in full sun. Any suggestions?

    How large is the bulb? Tiny ones take a few years to grow to maturity and bloom. And maybe a deeper container, they should be planted about 3 times deeper than their diameter for optimum growth.

    It may still need more time since seems everyone had a longer than normal winter.
