Hi Rhamel, too soon for me to get excited, I stopped watering mine a couple of weeks ago, I have 8 bulbs, yet the leaves stayed nice and green on most of them, so I decided to remove them from the pots and take all of the dirt off, they are now drying on newspaper in the laundry room, it's cool and dark there. Once the leaves turn yellow I will cut them to about 2 inches, when totally dried I put them in a cool cabinet in the basement for 6 to 8 weeks. That's what I did last year with my 2 that I started with, I had fabulous blooms!
