HELP Crown Imperial Fritillaria won't bloom again 2nd yr

I've worked very hard on my yard over the years and have tried to make the display nice for the people next to the bus stop - 3 people today complimented me on the big yellow Fritillarias - this year, I planted 3 in a semi-circle around the round metal sewage cover.

My problem - they are quite expensive and won't bloom again for me. I love them, but at almost $5 each, it's hard to justify planting year after year.

Suggestions? Can I lift them?

Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
