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.
