Amaryllis Belladonna

These are the strangest plants.  Amaryllis belladonna, also known as Naked Ladies, have strap-like green leaves which grow from large bulbs in the spring.  These die completely down for the entire summer and then in August, from the parched earth, the plants send up a shoot which forms a pink flower bud. They look like plants from an old B movie.
