I bought it about 3 years ago. It is growing fine each winter, bulbs are getting bigger (they even deformed the plastic jar). Bulb is sleeping in summer.

But no bloom, nothing in 3 years

why ?

Only time will tell.....
Do you have a picture by any chance. Curious to see it...

How big is the bulb? Could the neck of the bulb be constricting the scape from developing?

Hopefully the experts will be along shortly to offer advice.

opps, totally forgotten to add, adding to the main post

There are about 4-5 bulbs inside, 2 of them are about 2.5 -3 inches in diameter.

Ron, they look perfectly healthy, but I agree they are producing a clump of leaves, not flowering. I had one called Supreme Garden that did the exact same thing. There were ten tiny bulbs in a 12 inch pot that, even after four years, had produced lots of leaves but no flowers. I ended up repotting the individual bulbs into separate little pots and after another 3 years, about 1/2 of them finally bloomed. That is the only thing that I could suggest is separate the individual bulbs and repot separately. A lot depends on how much space you have and how many years you are willing to wait for blooming. If all of your other bulbs are doing OK, then it is not a matter of insufficient sunlight or nutrients.

light here is not a problem, it is outside all day. It get urea every 1-1.5 month slow release. I had one of them (big separated bulb) that I gave to a friend about a year ago, same problem. only leaves.
