Two questions on gladiolus?

I bought a package of gladiolus last yr when i panted them they grow out of the ground but they never bloomed why do you think that happened? Now that its warm agian when should i see them grow out agian i have one that grew up and i dont see any more is that normal or do you think that the rest wont grow? How can i tell if the flowers died and wont come back.|||If you don't see them by June they may have perished. If they didn't bloom they may have not received enough sunlight...they need at least 6 hours of sun a day. Also try spreading bone meal around the flower bed where they are planted...this will give you some amazing flowers.|||first thing I would do is PLANT them...so long as they have enough water and sunlight you ought to have flowers...now I don't know what you mean by agian ....that may be your problem!!!!!!
