Triple Amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Blossom Peacock')


Triple Amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Blossom Peacock')

This flower finally opened up after sending up a 27 inch stalk. Three others opened up shortly thereafter but the wind was so bad outdoors I could not get a decent picture. Any indoor attempt required the flash and washed out the flower coloring. This will have to do.

This is fantastic.I have never seen a triple flowered one before,and has lovely colouring and markings...

To tell you the truth, it took so long to give me a bloom, I had forgotten it was a triple...actually I don't think I even knew it was a triple...I ordered it because I liked the picture...lame reason, huh?

You have some wonderful pictures .....and some stunning closeups.....how do you do it?

I am very limited with subject matter because my garden is in progress....some are growing in pots...some in the ground..I have a new camera and practice with it LOTS because I have no photography training...the camera does all the work but it has taken a lot of practice and I have two sons who are photographers who have helped me understand bits and pieces...I have always had a passion for it but don't understand f stops and such....
