Eliza Waters 
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes & Jaye Marie.
Thank you for the reblog!
Wow, gorgeous!
Thank you, Cathy. I know you are an amaryllis fan!
Great macro photo.
Thank you, Brian!
Bright red on this gray, gloomy, cold winter day – YES! Thank you for that shot in the arm. 🙂
Thank you, Judy. Glad to oblige! 🙂
Wordless Wednesday – perfect example of why NOT to gild the lily.
😀 What could I possibly add to this?
Exquisite Eliza!
Thank you, Cindy!
Yes! This is what I need today 💛
Thank you, Val…Glad I could address that need. 🙂
Bellissima Eliza!
Grazie, Franco!
What a lovely pop of color in the midst of the grey and white season. Thank you!
Thank you, just what I was thinking. I needed some color!
So lovely!
Thank you, Belinda!
Come to me. Cast your soul upon my perfection. 😀
🙂 Yes, indeed!
What a graceful design and gorgeous colors.
Many thanks, Jim!
Mother Nature does good work.
Agreed!
Wow, Eliza. Truly gorgeous…the color, the lighting…just wonderful.
Many thanks, Gigi.
Amaryllis love! I brought mine down here with me and it’s just about to bloom! Such wonderful color – mine is green and white. This must really brighten your winter days Eliza.
Ooh, green and white – bet it will be gorgeous! You’ll have to post it! 🙂
Beautiful vibrant color. Thanks Eliza.
Thank You, Karen! 🙂
Love that red!
Big and bold – thanks, Laurie!
Love the red!!
All set for Valentine’s Day! 🙂
Lovely! The lighting and the delicacy are perfect! ❤
Thank you, Kim. Amaryllis are such showstoppers!
Wow Eliza!!! this is amazing! the depth of field! Beautiful beautiful flower!!!
Thank you so much, Mary! 🙂
Isn’t that red just warming all over? Good for the spirit and a balm to keep February bearable! Great timing to have it in bloom for V’day this weekend ❤ ❤ ❤
It’s from my archive, but you’re right, I had the holiday in mind when I posted it. 🙂
Gorgeous!! 💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸
Thank you, Trini! 🙂
I didn’t have an amaryllis this year – which is too bad, because I could really use some color around the house right now in the form of some flowers. Perhaps I will get some this weekend for Valentine’s Day (a woman can hope!).
Drop lots of hints or leave the grocery store flyer with the florist section folded neatly next to the toilet. 😉
I like this plan. Anything involving toilet reading is bound to work!
;-D
Beautiful framing with emphasis on the stamens. Eliza, someday I’d like you to explain the “visual” difference between “Amaryllis” and “ Lilies”. I have found some look so much alike. Have they been crossed between one another?
Thanks, Maria. Amaryllis (sometimes called Belladonna) is actually a genus different than the Hippeastrum shown here, even though they are commonly called Amaryllis (very confusing, I know). Both are of the family Amaryllidaceae, however. True lilies (Lilium) are of the family Liliaceae. Not related to each other, but I agree, with those large 5 petals and shape, they do look similar.
Thank you, yes, I’ve seen Hippeastrum here and in FL, there are the commercial Lilies that look like Amaryllis, and some hang downwards which is what I think Amaryllis does, while Lilies are more erect (?) There are so many different Lily cultivars.
Lilies do vary greatly with many crosses. Trumpet, Oriental, crossed together = Orienpet, then Asiatic, the list goes on!
Ah so warm… Gorgeous Eliza! 🙂
Thank you, Julie. A good shot for a cold day!
My favorite so far!!! makes me think of O’Keeffe painting.
Thank you so much, Kim!
Well that’s a breath of (warm) fresh air 🙂
Yes, it is. Thought we could use a little break from the weather! 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Heather.
Just gorgeous!
Thank you, Fi!
Wow. Beautiful.
Thank you!
I love this. It looks like the kiss of the hibiscus.
Or is it a lily?
It is an amaryllis (Hippeastrum). RED for Valentine’s Day! 🙂
a lovely pop of colour!
That it is, thanks, Ann!
I love this macro shot ~ great angle and color/contrast. Makes me a believer that spring is on its way… 🙂
Yes, it is, despite the weather outside our door! Thanks, Randall. 🙂
Majestic!
Thank you, Jane!
This is stunning, Eliza. It made me gasp, it’s so beautiful.
Thank you so much, Robin!
