Bulbs that flower without leaves- TOW

Dear all:
There are two forms of Leucojum autumnale, one that flowers
"naked", before foliage (var. oporanthum), and the other with foliage and
flowers at the same time (var. pulchellum), so both Paul and Mark are right.
A number of plants flower when the foliage is dry at the end of
the growing cycle, like Dichelostemmas, Brodiaeas, and Triteleias. Here in
South America Leucocorynes and Conantheras behave likewise.
Regards
Alberto
