Your time-lapse photos are always fascinating to see. A rare glimpse of how the flower moves from closed bud to open blossom. Sigh. Thanks for the virtual eye candy!
Very nice bloom. I searched all over this year to buy some of these weirdly shaped hybrids, but nobody was selling them at the nurseries and garden centers I go to.
One shop owner told me sales of the hybrids slowed down in the past couple of years so they've decided to just go with the traditional blooms.
What an interesting flower. A new one to me.
@Plant Postings,
You're welcome and I am glad you enjoyed the photos.
@MrBT,
Thanks. I got a couple of cybister bulbs and papilio online last year. I could never find them in local garden centers also.
@GWGT,
Yes it is. Thanks for the visit.
Great photos! I am not familiar with this plant. It's very interesting. Thanks for the introduction.
Thanks Bom. I tried the black cloth background and the new camera. :)
Hello Lily, great looking flower which I am unfamiliar with. I have aspirations of taking photographs such as these.
Hi Alistair,
I have seen fellow amaryllis growers' photos using black cloth background. I adapted it. I got a SLR camera as a Christmas present, played with it and the results are the photos you see on this post. Thanks.
Lily
