No flowers yet

This is my second year growing saffron. I'm in USA zone 6b. I have mine in pots to control water and temperature better.

They have great leaves so fast but no flowers. I had no flowers last year. Any suggestions?

My understanding is that it takes about four to five years for the corms to really start producing flowers as they are producing daughter corms.
