Today's Flowers: Amaryllis
This amazing flower was a Christmas gift from my nephew to my dad. I didn't see this tropical marvel grow, but I had the pleasure of enjoying its blossoms when my daughter and I stopped by on Friday. There's a universe of secret places in each blossom.

The lighting in this is superb Sandy. And I love the angle you got on the (searching 10th grade bio for the word) stamens(?). Looks something like a hand with one finger beckoning. (I seem to see that in a lot of things lately... wonder what that's about)
ReplyDeleteI have a whole collection of photos of the Amaryllis that pops up in... oh I guess April or early May in the beds by my parking deck. (Or at least that's what I'm told they are) Huge blossoms in vibrant red that will not be ignored.
gorgeous, rich and inviting it is...
ReplyDeleteOMG, great macro and the lighting is perfect! You captured the red in its natural color!
ReplyDeleteA very stunning study!
ReplyDeleteA magic World in each blossom, indeed.

Thanks for sharing the beauty with me! Who would have thought that one little gift could make so many people smile?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro, Sandy! The color and lighting are wonderful. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteAren't they glorious, and simply lush! I have a red one blooming just now, but the heads of the stamens are golden, not grey. I wonder if that means they are different varieties?
ReplyDeleteYour nephew is thoughtful! Amazing macro shot, Sandy! :)
