#Amaryllis aka #Hippeastrum 'Matador' (Barnhoorn Hippeastrum, 2008), blooming quite late this year. Mainly because I put it in a dark corner of the storage room last fall and promptly forgot about it!

Nochmal Hippeastrum papilio. Die Blüten sehen bei mir nie wie auf dem Händlerfoto aus, aber sind trotzdem meine Lieblingsvariante! @berndchen

Part two of #windowsill #Hippeastrum correiense (#Amaryllis Belladonna L.) in bloom. #Portrait orientation so toot preview won't do it justice. Slightly edited to correct perspective, otherwise (very nearly) #SooC & untouched. Lens used this time was Yashica ML 50mm f/1.7 with fully open aperture. Two external Godox #flash guns, one above the Amaryllis, the other slightly from the side of the #Canon #FullFrame camera. I tried other #lighting positions, but I liked #shadows in this shot the most.

Artsy #macro #photography of windowsill #Hippeastrum correiense (#Amaryllis Belladonna L.) in bloom in front of a #FineArt calendar. Trying out my new tripod I got for a steal on eBay auctions.
Illuminated using two off-cam Godox V860IIc #flash guns. I was too lazy to change lenses since my out-of-the-window birding today, so this was done using same Soligor #VintageLenses stack on a #Canon #FullFrame body as my Blackbird photo earlier today.
As you can see, there was no need to change the lenses. Exceptional sharpness, clean #bokeh, suitable depth of field, beautiful and faithful colours, great contrast (no boost there!) and no optical aberrations to speak of. This is #unprocessed #SooC Jpeg.
FWIW the lens stack I used for this and many, many other photos I take cost me about 100€ including a multicoated teleconverter with built-in macro-focusing helicoid, very good but equally inexpensive UV filter, an anodized aluminum lens hood and all lens caps, front and back. They even came in a nice faux-leather padded pouch and desiccant bags. And the stack takes tack sharp and aberration-free photos at focal lengths from 28 to 400mm (i.e. a 14.3x zoom) and can do 1:1 macro! Take that [insert any brand that would like you to sell your house, your left kidney, and your firstborn son to buy one with similar performance off them]! 😜 #VendorUnlock #FightTheFuture 🤘🏽

So lovely every year!
My kept-over #hippeastrum are throwing off side-bulbs, but hardly ever re flowering. Is that just the next stage they go through, or does it suggest something fixable about my lights/timing/temperature?? @alex
Something's opening.
#January 12, 1778
#OTD William Herbert, British #Botanist & #Clergyman, is born.
William confused #Gardener-s after he split the Amaryllis genera into #Amaryllis & #Hippeastrum.
There is only one species in the Amaryllisllis genus - the #Belladonna.
The Hippeastrum genera has 90 species, including the big #Bulbs we pot up in the #Winter & commonly refer to as Amaryllis. But really, they are Hippeastrum - a name that doesn't roll off the tongue & has never caught on.

We got those beautiful #Hippeastrum #Amaryllis plant from our neighbors for Christmas, and it's in full bloom now. Reminds me a bit of S05E06 of #StarTrekTNG (The game) 😅
I hope it will survive as it seems a bit complicated to care for as far as I read, but I'm optimistic ☺️
In the background there is some unrelated #StarWars and #Mandalorian stuff 🫣

Our Amaryllis started flowering on Christmas Eve and has been thrilling us with additional blooms every couple of days since. This photo was taken on New Year's Eve when there were three blooms.

Amaryllis gekocht? Elke dag een beetje water, is dat genoeg? Moet ik de bloem afknippen als die is uitgebloeid?

I love Amaryllis or correctly Hippeastrum - so lovely to have in the house in gloomy winter. The buds appear literally overnight! #Rapido #Hippeastrum
Oh yeah, my babies are coming back! This is the best part about winter. @plants #hippeastrum
«Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae. The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means "knight's star", although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain. For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name amaryllis is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere. By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors.» https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippeastrum
Today’s and the last for this season #hippeastrum (not #Amaryllis). So amazing. Love growing these.
