Arda,
We have one bulb - given to us by a gardener in the botanic gardens in Madeira. We were admiring the flowers, the gardener was working nearby, there was a bulb on the surface of the ground and he gave it to us. No communication, my Portuguese is not good enough to say more than a "thank you" but he saw we were delighted to see it and shared it with us.
We grow it in a sandy/gritty compost in a cold greenhouse. It does not want to get frozen overwinter. It is coming into growth just at this moment.
Re watering: in Madeira it is an outdoor plant and gets torrential rain all the time. Drainage is the important thing, I think, and winter protection here in our colder winters.

Mine has been on a windowsill for a year and has been dormant for a month.

Keep it cool until the summer heat has past, and give a very little water

I watered mine last week for the first time for some months and can see a flower bud emerging from one bulb, while other shoots show no sign of growth. When I started later in the season they flowered but produce no seed because of lack of insects and winter damp, starting earlier I now have seed from last year.
