Dear All, Thanks for all the wonderful information everyone has been supplying about bulbs that flower without leaves. It is interesting to note the climate differences. My first Cyclamen hederifolium started blooming in July which seemed early and there are no leaves in sight. Doug can you tell us which Haemanthus and Scadoxus bloom without leaves and is it after a dormancy or as the leaves are dying down or some other pattern? Jane could you explain again what Scilla scilloides is supposed to do? I am thoroughly confused about when to water it and I think you once wrote it blooms in fall. Mine haven't bloomed yet and the leaves are present at weird times. Do all the Gethyllis bloom without leaves or are there differences in species? Mary Sue
