Its interesting that you did everything you were supposed to do, but your bulbs put up leaves when you expected them to be dormant. Sounds crazy but based on my experience, I wonder if what you are seeing is a fall flush of leaves, not a "new" blooming season. Trying to force these bulbs to go dormant when its still so warm outside is really difficult. I've never had any luck with it and gave up years ago at forcing them out of season. When I talk about a fall flush of leaves this is what I mean. It is common for my Amaryllis planted outdoors in 9A to die back in June or July completely to the ground. In August or Sept, a new flush of leaves will appear. Those leaves stay on until late Dec-Jan, when we have nights just above freezing. This is when the bulbs finally go through their short "true" dormancy,. Then in late Feb, March they put up a flower stalk, bloom, then put up new leaves. Its Nov, and most of mine have lovely new green leaves on them. This reminds me of your situation, even though yours were out of the light and with no water. In the South, its difficult to get the plants cold enough to force dormancy before Jan. Even when yours were "dry" there was plenty of moisture stored in the bulb, which would allow the leaves to grow for a while without being watered. The leaves are elongated due to lack of sunlight. Put them out in good light and water, and see what happens. It would be really exciting to see them bloom, but don't be disappointed if they have to go through a Jan dormancy first. Good luck!
