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.

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....
