We've never grown Hippeastrum (amaryllis) before. It has been great fun watching the dried looking bulb spring into life; the stem gradually lengthening, and finally the petals unfurling. So meet 'Red Lion'. It's ridiculously photogenic.
They are such luxurious flowers with their velvet red petals and are so photogenic! I have some which flower now but they are utterly confused usually they flower in spring.
A shock of colour in a cold, white February.
That may be the perfect description~~ridiculously photogenic! Lovely photos. gail
ReplyDeleteThey're fabulous, aren't they? They just present endless opportunities for photographing.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say not a winter colour then I thought of Santa (lol).
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful and exotic. I want one too!
Beautiful photos. What an amazing colour - I don't usually like amaryllis, but I'm converted by this one!
ReplyDeleteSuperb photography TIG, I love them. Wasn't that fussed on amaryllis, but I think they've just grown on me! Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos - I'm also not an amaryllis fan, but you have nearly succeeded in converting me too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Awesome photos!!
