Hi all:

During april 2003 i travel to the north of Corrientes, Argentina and i
found this small place after a very recent fire, here you can see two bulb
plants:

Rhodophiala bifida with red flowers:

and Habranthus pedunculosus

http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/…

As you can see in this last picture it flower with leaves although even
under culture it usually dont.

For our experience some species, specially Habranthus use to flower without
leaves in the wild but flower with leaves under culture, that was the
opposite case.

Best wishes

Germán
