Robin : yes this plants comes from Peru !

Alessandro : I dont know why they start with flowers now - they lost her leaves before some weeks and now they start with a flowerstalk ....maybe a result of Phostrogen fertilizer ?

You are making use of a very top class fertiliser with high potassium for the flower and stalk development. It is the best for bulbs. I think it is normal for them to flower without leaves. Have a look here on the second photo. http://www.bulbsociety.org/GALLERY_OF_THE_WORLDS_BULBS/GRAPHICS/Stenomesson/Stenomesson_miniatum/Stenomessonminiatum.html

and here http://www.backyardgardener.com/plantname/pda_4714.html in the first paragraph.

Now I have another new bulb to find !!!

Yes it is true - if we have one of the bulbs that we search ...so we hunt for the next ;D
I hope my plant will make any offsets - and shure I have it self pollinatet ;)
