Pleione

This is the loveliest little plant! Totally gone during winter and springtime the flowers pop up with leaves following later. I bought one in Chch and nursed it ever since and every year it delights me with this white flower. Last year I bought 2 bulbs at a local plantshop so this last few weeks the pink ones showed up as well! In autumn I will put them back in the storeroom, not watering at all while they rest up for the nex growing season!
