~Amaryllis~

It’s all a matter of perception.

My temperamental Amaryllis

bloom for 2 weeks in fall

if its spirit moves it on a ball.

some years it is just dormant;

A bit of a tease.

I take photos from every angle

in its various stages of bloom.

soft, curled petal edges I adore

long elegant stretch of white;

contrasting superfine deep pink overlay veins

From a distance indistinct patches of colour

on close examination pink veins of varied thickness.
