Hippeastrum by onewing

Hippeastrum

As you know I don't usually post photos of flowers, but while I have been confined to home because I have felt unwell I have been trying out some macro shots of flowers in my garden.

We were given four hippeastrum plants by a friend and we split each plant in two and planted them in our garden. They have grown like wildfire and the flowers are beautiful.

Hopefully I will be able to escape the confines of home tomorrow if I feel much better to go out with our walking group to Morpeth.

Our walks usually end with lunch somewhere, so even if I don't manage to complete the whole of the walk I can enjoy a nice lunch and the company of friends.
Wonderful capture of this gorgeous coloured hippeastrum.
Enjoy your walk and lunch tomorrow.

Babs, do hope you soon feel much better. These only grow indoors here and I expect you know that there are a favourite to give somebody for Christmas when you are stuck for ideas!

Lovely focus Babs, I brought several Hippis from my old garden and they finally flowered this year, think they love Stanthorpe as much as I do :))

My imagination is off again......I immediately saw a person with a long curly nose and glasses skimming down the flower as if it were a slide!

@littleconnie @julzmaioro @happysnaps @teresamaro @olenadole @beryl @777margo @inthecloud5 @sangwann @janemartin @leestevo @merrelyn @merrelyn @seattlite @carolmw @jesperani @fbailey @gilbertwood @helenhall @denise59 @suzanne234 @elisasaeter @kathiecb @pyrrhula @hrs @jessikapanteleios @cathieg Thanks so much. sorry for the late reply, but we have been out all day. Yes I did enjoy the walk and lunch, but I think I overdid it a bit because I am not feeling 100%. Takes a lot to stop me though and I did get lots of lovely photos. I don't have to cook dinner this evening either, so I think I will have a quiet night.
Morpeth (where our walk was) is inland from here and a few degrees warmer. today was 28 degrees C (82 f). Probably our warmest day so far this Spring. I will post some of the photos from the walk over the next few days when I have downloaded them from my camera.

@quietpurplehaze I didn't know they were a favourite plant for a Christmas present. They grow like mad here. A friend of ours gave us some plants as he was moving in to a much smaller house with a tiny garden and he wanted to share some of his favourite plants with his friends. He can see them growing quite happily here now.

@hermann Glad your hippis have settled in their new home.

@casablanca Ha ha, I can see him. I love your imagination.

@happypat Thanks Pat. I did enjoy the walk, but I think I overdid it a bit as I am not feeling the best yet. It takes a lot to stop me though. I just soldier on.

Sorry to hear you're still poorly Babs, that's no good after all this time. Hope you feel more like yourself soon.
