Amaryllis

In the community garden, you will find gardens that have interesting plants and flowers. I’m always on the lookout for anything that is worth capturing. I have a small camera that do the job very nicely. I always bring it in my garden bag just in case. This day is when I saw these flowers called Amaryllis. You will usually see these flowers during the holidays but I took this picture in July. It was great to see these wonderful flowers which are also named as belladonna in the middle of summer. They are planted as bulbs, the bigger the bulb the better because you will end up with big flowers. There is also white amaryllis in the same garden, I guess whoever owns the garden likes amaryllis. I am thinking maybe I should start collecting amaryllis now that I’ve learned so much about it. I like the color varieties plus it is easy to grow. The hardest part is waiting for it to bloom.
