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:

Never seen this feature in Zephyranthes and in the Hippeastrum from
Argentina it suppose to happen in H. cybister.
