amaryllis flowers

My amaryllis plant won't be flowering for a couple of weeks, I think, so I treated myself to some cut amaryllis flowers this morning.
Many thanks, everyone, for the views, comments and favs which put my shot 'by the river' on PP. I always read every comment and I always appreciate them all.

Beautiful soft lighting - wonderful colors and dof.

@quietpurplehaze Hazel, no bored rigid would be the pics I tried of flowers last week - they all came out looking plastic !! You captured the color and texture so nicely :)

Beautifully presented Hazel....these flowers last for ages so you will enjoy the unfurling!

Thank you, Sophia. The planted one is (supposedly) red with a flash of white). Nothing like watching a plant grow and flower!
