Thanks, Bruce. It disappears along with the leaves come Spring ... in fact, it withers somewhat before the leaves do. From: Bruce Schroder Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2015 2:08 PM Subject: [pbs] Strumaria truncata blooming/fruiting November 2015 ... Doest the cataphyl like structure persist year round or is it lost when the leaves die back? _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
