    Patience?   They're supposed to flower in autumn and we're not there yet.

    Jersey lilies are also called Naked Ladies because they flower before the leaves come up. But you say they have grown well and look pot bound. Are you sure it's a Jersey Lily?

    Another possibility is your bulbs are nerines? Again, the flowers appear before the leaves. Mine are not showing any signs of growth yet.
