Description
A trio of showy, red orange, exotic and extravagant amaryllis blossoms make a dramatic statement against a green, natural, outdoors background.
These bright, vivid trumpet shaped beauties were photographed in Tallahassee,Florida.
These striking,gorgeous flowers grew from pre-planted bulbs in a small plastic pot which were given to me by a thoughtful neighbor one Christmas. Once the plant broke through the soil, its growth was surprisingly rapid. It seemed to change overnight. I am sure we mentioned its similarity to Jack and the beanstalk on more than one occasion.
This is a square format image in a complementary color scheme of red and green. The red is a fire engine orangeish red, and the greens of the background vegetation have a bit of a bluish cast.
This macro image shows the pistil and stamen, as well as the velvety petals, of these striking blooms. The little white bit at the end of the pistil is heart-shaped, as this close image shows, and the bits of pollen at the end of the gracefully curved stamen are yellow.
