There are many Rhodophiala species and I imagine that one or two such as Rh. ananuca from the north coastal areas might behave like A. belladonna in remaining dormant in extreme drought conditions. However, I have never grown. Rh. ananuca. Even in rain-each year conditions A. belladonna blooms only a fraction of its bulbs in each clump - a survival mechanism.
