I decided to plant a pot of grape hyacinth bulbs indoors this year,
they're growing fine but have no flowers. Do any of you think there's
something I could do to get them to bloom, and/or should I just
transplant them outside? Feeling pretty dumb right now... thanks,

Were the bulbs ever refrigerated over the winter?

No, not that I'm aware of.

I'm by no means an expert on this, but I thought that was one of the
bulbs that needed to be cold (as it would be were they in the ground all
winter) before it would bloom, like tulips or daffodils, etc.

You may not get a bloom this time around, but could, after the go
dormant & after time spent in a cold place over the winter, force them
next year.

This presupposes that you've had these bulbs a while. If you just bought
them, it's possible they were chilled long enough to make them bloom
before they were shipped to you & I'm all wet!
