I think that these guys are pretty cool. The leaf/leaves are up for most of the year then it dies off. Then the flowers emerge before the leaves come back out again. Would see lots of plants through most of the year, but I have always missed seeing them in bloom.

I got lucky, noticed the shoots coming up while mowing a couple weeks ago and kept an eye on them for the bloom. Its been a few years since I've seen one in bloom.
