Hippeastrum papilio

All my Hippeastrums in the garden lose their leaves totally towards the
end of the summer, are without leaves all winter. They develop scapes
from early spring, and once thosestart wilting, the leavesgrow.
From that I would deduce their rest period is winter, Jim.

It, like some other species
of Hippeastrum, seems to do better with a rest period in summer.
