Clivia in the Rainbow

Since our weather retreated back to winter I'm posting a great winter blooming houseplant. The rainbow effect came from a shiny metallic surface to my left that reflected other colors into the shot. I was upset at first but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. {Clivia belongs to the lily family, the same family as amaryllis. Each colorful clivia flower is similar in shape to, but much smaller than, the larger trumpet-shaped amaryllis flower. Clivia flowers cluster together to form large conspicuous flower heads. (info from the Chicago Botanic Garden)}

Although artificial (because of the shiny metallic surface), it are wonderful subtle tones Kathy. Gives me the feeling that I'm dreaming. Please wait a moment so that I can pinch my arm..... I'm back and have hurt myself, lol!

Regards, Cornelius.

Soft and dreamy, Kathy. I am typing quietly so as not to disturb SEA. :)

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I have many of these growing in the shady areas of my garden. They are a colourful hardy plant that thrives in up to full shade in my part of the world. This is a beautiful example

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

A happy accident with the rainbow effect...I think it looks wonderful...adds an extra pastel to the already lovely pastels in the flower.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

Sometimes the 'unexpected' turns out to be a bonus in our photography!

Nice one Kathy
