Do others of you have flowers yet? How do you look after them?
Where am I going wrong?

I'm not sure I can tell you best practice, but...

I planted a couple of packs of bulbs last year in the hottest, sunniest
location I possess, and backs to a stone wall too.

Nothing but leaves.

In the autumn, I dug them up, and potted the largest bulbs up into a pot,
which I kept in the greenhouse till August.

I got *one* flower spike (it is a biggy, though).

I'm going to try greenhouse again next year and see what that does.
