As of today, the Amaryllis I have been photographing for the past two weeks has opened six of its eight flower buds. Here are some close up of these brilliant red flowers. As the blooms grow larger, it is more difficult to capture all of them in one frame. I am already standing in another room to take the following shots.

I love the backlighting in the first image, Hien. All three images are stunning, all taking my breath away. I know how huge these flowers get and I totally understand why you would have to be so far away in order to get them in the frame. Thank you for this post. I never tire of seeing flowers. 🌹🌹🌹

THe sunlight on the flowers in the first photo is just beautiful, and the blinds, softened a little, are a great background – beautiful!! I can see why you’re enjoying this flower so much. 🙂

Thank you Lynn! We have at least one of these flowers every year. I haven’t yet learned how to keep them growing and blooming for the following year.

These can be really stunning flowers. You’ve done a great job with photographing these flowers, They can be a real problem with how long the flower can be.

You are right, they are not as easy to photograph as other flowers. But they are indeed stunning in full bloom. Thank you for commenting!

I find the opening of the amaryllis flowers to be so fascinating. First a little green pops out of the soil, then the stalk rises, then the buds are tight, then they separate slightly, and unfurl, then finally the whole flower trumpets its arrival, as you have photographed here. Incredible, gradual, and so worth the wait. Thanks for sharing yours, Hien.
