Beginner Gardening: Amaryllis, 1 by emptyeyes

I read that if they grow leaves and no scapes that they won\'t bloom this year, is that true? I have 4 amaryllis that are growing leaves but no sign of scapes. How do you treat the leaves, if I just leave them on the plant and put them outdoors when the temps get warm and stay warm. I also thought that I would let them bloom whenever they feel like it and not put them in a official dormant period. Do you think they will bloom next year or maybe later this year?
