Title: Red Spider Lily 1
Post by: Bob_B on September 18, 2022, 09:22:39 am
'Tis the blooming season for my Red Spider Lilies, Lycoris radiata, a member of the amaryllis family. The ephemeral flowers last only a few days and are gone before one even sees their splendor. Given that, I sacrificed one of only two blooms to photograph, preserve and share with all of you. Enjoy.

Well done! They are truly spectacular flowers.

Really nice! The DOF and separation from the background are perfect. What a cool flower too.
