freesias... will i be lucky this season?

Bought freesias bulbs December'09 from walmart (20 for $5) Planted them early January around 12th Jan! 5 in the white container & 4 in hanging basket....have heard they smell lovely- will i be lucky to see them bloom in my patio?
I was almost giving up on those planted bulbs when in first week of Febuary i saw tiny green knife like leaves popping up. Not impressed with the germination rate... only 3 out of 4 germinated in hanging basket. There were still no signs of any germination in white container..... the only difference was Potting soil (Gardners) in hanging basket while Sta Green potting mix in white container. By end of Feb around 20th i saw 2 tiny leaves in the white container as well. Still no sign of remaining 3 bulbs in the white container.
They are growing slow...dnt knwo if i will get to see the blooms in my patio?









The bucket one is growing strong

they all need stakes!!
