I've have several. Some have been reliable bloomers for years. 2 are blooming right now. After blooming, I let them leaf out, & keep them out on the veranda with all the othe tropicals in the summer. They go dormant in the fall when they're brought in for winter, and then send up flower stalks to harken the beginning of "solar" Spring, based on the length of day, which starts at the beginning of February. The couple that didn't bloom for a few years decided to multiply, instead and filled their pots with more bulbs. I divided one pot last winter, and had 2 bloom. The 2nd pot was divided in summer, and I planted that lot in the garden for. the season. They were dug last fall, and stored for winter. I keep checking them, but no flower stalks yet!
