Mine was for the first time as well David .. we only had the one flower , maybe we will have more next year ..
I have mine in a large pot , how do you keep yours .. will it stay in the garden outside for the winter or is yours planted in the soil ?

I planted 3 bulbs in a large pot - one got two blooms. I'll keep them in this pot for next year, just place the pot in a sheltered spot in the garden.

I believe they do, Amy. Don't copy me, in case mine fail. Actually, think I need to do some research now re over-wintering these. Haven't checked mine for bulbils/offshoots, there is still too much foliage, but will do now that you mention this. :-)
