STARS in the NIGHT… Amaryllis
We are well and truly in full communication again!
They speak, I listen. LOL
It is said that: Art is Expression of the imagination............
Hippeastrum, these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanic name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject. Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").
I love the curves and lines in this.
Hope you do too.
Have a great day thank you for your comments and visits, M, (*_*)
