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.

[Joan Robillard]

I always have that problem too. But wow did you succeed. Beautiful

@paulaw

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

[Janette]

Just beautiful.

[Claire]

That background certainly makes it stand out, lovely shot

[Judith]

Fav, beautiful.

[Pat Knowles]

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.

[Pete]

Great close up shot

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture,

@happypat

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

[David]

works well Hazel

[Ivan]

Pretty flower, nice frame, Hazel.

[Hilary]

[Lee Shirley]

and a good place to take a picture, plenty of balanced light - fine shot

[Hazel]

@04haze

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

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Wow hazel, superb. Fav

[Christine]

You also can use a withe bed sheet on the wall . But you`ve find you own creative way to get a beautiful photo of it . Well done and nice framing

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

I need the sheets on the bed - and ours are purple!!!!!!!!!!!

[Floyd]

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

[Decima F]

Well done, great choice, beautiful flower.

[Nita]

Gorgeous, detailed and wonderful light, your found the perfect background.

[Kathleen Hickey]

This is beautiful..lovely detail. I used a black t-shirt one time. Needs must, as they say.

[Hazel]

@khrunner

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

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

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

[Richard Creese]

Lovely flower and a great background.
