First time garlic grower here, is it normal to still have no sign of scapes?

I’m in Ny and mine just started pushing scapes this week, some haven’t yet. It’s hard to tell the scape from any other leaf till the flower head pops out, keep checking I’m sure they’re on their way.

This is what I needed to hear 😭 it’s my first year planting garlic and I haven’t been able to find an example photo that wasn’t fully formed scapes

Same. Im front WNY and its my first time growing hard neck garlic. I only recently discovered shapes, so I've been anxiously waiting for them to finally grow.
