they are often 'prepared' for flowering in the first year you got it. [similar to indoor hyacynths.It may well flower next year. feed it regularly and then come the summer allow it to die back and then start the bulb off again in the autumn and you may just get a flower xmas 2010. :o)

thanks seaburngirl does this mean that they only flower once

for this season yes but next year you may get flowwers.
