Such a beautiful post. My mother got one of these for Christmas. It had to be planted and has now grown and close to getting her picture taken. The Amaryllis, not mom. lol.

This is a very inventive shot and the composition is very strong. Improvements? The pollen is perhaps slightly overexposed and I could live with more depth of field to get everything in focus...but I love the movement and the rich, rich reds.
