amaryllis aka hippeastrum

I've been all over the house looking for a place to photograph this amaryllis with an uncluttered background. I found that place in the shower room.
Beautiful tones Hazel, these always remind me of my father-in-law who used to buy me one every Christmas.

It was always a favourite Christmas gift in our family too - this was a cheat in a way as I bought it ready planted!

Picked a perfect spot here ......shows it off so well....I would think it would like to live in the shower room too, plenty of humid warmth.

It's where the orchids do well too, Pat, better than anywhere else in the house.

Thank you, Lee - the light is from a quite large window to the side - probably why the orchids do so well here.

until we made the fabric backdrops the shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom always came in handy

Hadn't thought of that - could borrow one from Neil, minus the band logos!

A great choice of location. The flower stands out beautifully against the white, a truly gorgeous, exotic bloom!
