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: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… H. gracilifolius: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… H. pedunculosus: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… H. tubispathus http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… 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 http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Rh. bifida http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Never seen this feature in Zephyranthes and in the Hippeastrum from Argentina it suppose to happen in H. cybister.
