What a beautiful flower!!!! I loved it!
I recognised that they belong to the Amaryllis family and also to the lily family. Because at home, back in Argentina I had a lot of them and some very similar to the ones you show, they are called "aparecidas" lilies, because they bloom every 7 years, nature is incredible. Did I tell you that I love nature? I think many times.
Lilies are also part of the big family but a bit different. I had three different types of colours over there... I will look for some time if I brought some pictures, although they will be of bad quality, they are very old.
They look like spiders, how capricious is nature that makes such wonderful things. I love those kind of flowers, more than roses or the ones that women usually like.
You brought back memories, nice memories, thank you.
My favourites? the last two, but they are all great. You are a great photographer and I look at what you do because I want to learn.
Thank you Galen!🤗
Yeah, it's pretty nice this one.
Those ones you mention bloom only every seven years? Thankfully these ones I have come back every year and I'd not want to wait seven years for them.
Thanks for you comment and you've picked out two of my own favourites from this post.
Today I photographed two other flowers from garden, this time out in the garden and those posts will be coming up in the next week or so. I hope you'll take a look.
I'm sorry my comments in reply may not be so good, you write vert long comments mostly and I simply don't have the time to respond in as much length most times.
Only one species of lily blooms every 7 years, it's a long time to wait, but my grandmother had them and I kept on taking care of them.
I'll be waiting for the new publication.
Relax, I understand, but in this kind of publications I can reflect and express myself more, that's why I do it and it's a pleasure.
I still haven't figured out how you do the black background.... I'll figure it out 🤣
It's no secret, I've mentioned it a few times but I'll let you keep guessing for a while. 😊
You made me laugh! I really like that contrast.... I'll keep practising!😀
