I think most of us are a bit far away @joysie, but I always water and increase the feed on my Amaryllis around this time of year.

Maybe you could ask a friend or neighbour to take a photo for you joysie21, or do you have a mobile phone with a camera in it? Perhaps if you explain to T&M that you haven't got a camera & tell them exactly how you've planted the bulbs up etc. they will help. Give the bulbs a squeeze to see if they still feel firm, if they are then they may still spring to life, if they feel soft it may be that you've over-watered them & they've started to rot, sometimes they get attacked by fungus gnats if the compost is too damp as well.

It seems a bit odd to buy Amaryllis in August? What type are they? I mean you can get Amaryllis Belladonna too, they go outside, maybe a mix up?
Have you had them potted up since August or did you only order them then, and T+M sent them for the winter? If they have not even started leaves within a month, that is odd.

Bess I did complain to T.M the bulbs are firm and I only watered them sparenly as I thought we had to wait for them to grow leaves before watering a lot they sent me four more my daughter said pot them up and put them in the airing cupbard as monty don suggested which I have so hopefully these will grow
