Thank you all for the encouragement. I'm continuing to water; no leaves yet and no other bud sprouting, and I will continue to watch. However the one that hasn't ever re-bloomed is growing like crazy and anytime now. will bloom.

I am including some pictures of the other old bulbs when they bloomed the past several years. I inherited them from older relative who passed; they were in a basement window, no flowers but leaves and bulbs galore. I separated them from 2 pots into about 6 pots. The bulbs continue to grow each year. I'm not sure how many of theses I want to raise and let a lot of bulblets go last year.

Photo 1 = the current bud - this one will be either white or red I think

Photo2 = 2 all these are this orange-apricot color, and sometimes I have up to 5 flowers blooming at once.
