Achimenes is an easily gown flower that grows from a tiny pine cone
shaped bulb.  It is also called  magic flower because after it has been
dormant all winter it will begin growing when warm weather comes without
any watering.  I have a potful that I have had for many years without
repotting.  I just water it when it wants to grow and put it outside in
the summer. It goes dormant suddenly in the fall, then I hang it in the
garage till spring.

The British also call these "Hot Water Plants", and I agree...they are
incredibly easy to grow.
