There is a word to scientifically describe bulbs that bloom after
the foliage has died down and before it re-emerges, such as is the
case with so many fall blooming South African amaryllids. Anyone know it?

There is a term "synanthous" used to describe foliage that appears at
the same time as the flowering scape. Is there a term "heteranthous"
meaning the opposite?
