Hi all:
Some species of Habranthus are a good example of plants that produce
leaves, then lost there leaves and a month or 2 later they produce there
flowers.
This happen in H. estensis:

It also happpen in Habranthus niveus, H. martinezii, H. versicolor,
Also happen in Rhodophiala, although sometimes the second spathe is produce
later when leaves have already appear.
Rh. mendocina

Never seen this feature in Zephyranthes and in the Hippeastrum from
Argentina it suppose to happen in H. cybister.
