Was very unsuccessful with freesias this year.
However I realized that the bulbs I got perhaps wasn't properly prepared. Apparently they need a heat treatment to initiate bloom formation before growing on in cooler conditions. One of the articles below claims: "12 weeks at 30C (86F) after lifting – and then kept at not much below this until the frosts are over and they make it into the ground" . Obviously for those in a warm zone with a hot summer this isn't much of a problem as the bulbs will reset themself for the next season, but for those of us that need to buy new corms (or attempt to store them over winter) this could be a serious issue, resulting in no buds or poor growth
.
Here is a few articles:
