Amaryllis is a fibrous rooted perennial bulbous herb. Plants are about 45-60 cm high bearing many strap-like glossy and green leaves. The inflorescence consisting of a leafless stalk is an umbel and attains a height of about 60 -120 cm.
Flowers are large, funnel shaped and remain fresh for 4-5 days from the date of opening. The lower flower of the spike opens earlier than the upper one. The perianth tube is short and ribbed, the divisions are oblong or lanceolate.
The filaments are distinct and no scale is observed between them. The stamens are on the throat of the tube. Fruits are globose capsule opening irregularly. With the advancement of winter, leaf-fall occurs in cooler region. In tropical climate bulbs are not leafless at the time of flowering. After flowering, plants start to grow if sufficient moistnre exists in the soil. |

I really like the colours and textures you present.
There's no way my old DiMage would give those colours so I'm assuming plenty of post-processing work.
Bom dia Carlos,
Interessantíssima foto, com um fundo bonito e fora do comum (lama seca?).
Cores fieis, boa nitidez e luz excelente,
Parabéns,
Raimundo
