It's amazing how the natural light and sun changed this from red to lovely deep orange - I used to grow an amaryllis every winter but haven't done it for a couple years as the dear friend who would give us the amaryllis passed away. Perhaps it's time to revive the tradition - lovely post Laura - it brought back wonderful memories.

The lighting makes the petals look so fragile and see-through. Love the glorious colors. Beautiful one!

Gives me so much warmth that I can almost switch off the heating, lol.

Great Foofy Friday image Laura. Thanks for sharing.

Laura - With the backlighting, the petals take on a translucence that shows the veining nicely. The amaryllis is a lovely flower. Thad
