Shallots

Will bulbs form or will they just go to seed? I missed harvesting a cluster of shallots last year. This spring they look like a large clump of chives. I cut most of the flowers and the green looks very healthy but VERY crowded. Thanks for your time.

They should have formed clusters or bulbs, much like a garlic bulb.
There are good images on the links below.
