Dear Mary Sue;
All Lycoris have foliage FIRST, then bloom on leafless stalks.

When you ask about bulbs that flower first, then produce
foliage or the opposite I assume you mean in a "calendar year", not a
'growing season' which can range from fall to spring in mild winter
areas.

Jim,

But that also depends on your hemisphere. Here, Lycoris flower sort of
March/April.... followed by the leaves later, so if you were talking
calendar year that would definitely apply.

I had assumed that he was referring to plants that flowered while leaves
were not present, at least that seemed the logical request I though?

Cheers.
