Hi Nathan,you have done a good job with those leaves.You might want to keep turning the pots round a lttle bit every few days so that they all get some light.Don't forget to feed them with the tomato fertiliser as well

 

Can I post some pic of mine pls...

 

Of course you can Jimbo,though it was Nathan7 who started the thread so you might want to ask him first.

 

I've always grown mine from late April to late september, flowering in May/June.
The ones you buy in shops around Christmas are out of sinc with our seasons, and need to be grown on from now till late Sept before allowing to rest.
Then keep them cold but frost free until the following March, when with a bit of warmth and water they will wake them up, and flower.
A few years ago I read somewhere that if you let the first flush of leaves reach full length and then just cut the ends off, the bulb will make another set of leaves.
This ensures that the bulb has two flower stems the following year.
Not really tried it as mine have multible bulbs in the same pot, but I could be worth a try for anyone with a new bulb this year.
