Lvalentine - my naked ladies have bloomed every year for about the past 15-20 years in my present home. I have given many of the excess bulbs away. Sometimes they bloom the first year, sometimes not until the 3rd or 4th year since they do not like to be disturbed at the wrong time. After flowering (in August) is the best time to move them. I have them in mostly shade, part shade, sunny, some with water, some with no summer watering, and they seem to do fine. Maybe yours are still too young? Here's some photo from last year. This is under neath a cherry tree - mostly shaded.
