Hi , Can anyone tell me what Ive done wrong. I have 3 Amerillas bulbs ( i think thats how you spell it ) they flowered the first year I bought them. Then as per instructions I cut back the green once it started to die back. They came back into leaf this winter so I was looking forward to them flowering again for this Christmas, but nothing   only green leaves albeit very healthy looking. not sure why no flowers can anyone help please?

You're thinking of amaryllis 

Some folk have a way with them, the rest of us don't. Mine will put up a leaf or two during winter, which then quickly dies off. But they like being outside in summer (with some fertilizing) where they'll put out more leaves and on occasion I get a flower, but not often. I suspect that they're mostly a one time bloom bulb for the majority of us.

Don't give up, I find that they usually flower in the summer with the leaves coming first then the bud - I think those that are bought for the Christmas flowering are "forced" to flower in a couple of weeks from planting.

You need to feed them when in flower & afterwards to build up the reserves to flower again.

thanks for your replies, will just keep watering and feeding and see if im lucky. seems a shame to get rid of an otherwise healthy looking plant
