Why isn't my Columbine blooming?

I have two big, beautiful, bushy plants. The foliage is wonderful, but they have not bloomed and don't show any signs of it. I bought them as small plants from a local vendor, and they are 10x the size they were originally but have no blooms.

Why isn't my Columbine blooming?
old lady is right, Columbines love shade. And they don't like a whole lot of water. They are the state flower of my home Colorado. They like cooler temperature, semi-moist soil and lots of shade.





They transplant well. You can certainly take some of the plant with you when you move and transplant it in you new abode.
Reply:Some kids brought guns to your house and shot up the columbine?
Reply:Where do you have them in your garden? Columbines are shade lovers. If they are getting direct/bright sun, they won't bloom for you.
Reply:mine took a couple years to bloom. Now I have them popping up all around the yard.
