I spent this afternoon gardening and was hoping to take my camera with me to catch any inspiration … unfortunately it poured with rain for most of the time so I was stuck in the greenhouse, taking cuttings and potting up young plants. Given that my greenhouse isn’t watertight, the rain was hammering on the roof so hard it felt like it was trying to break the glass and the drips were multiplying exponentially, I decided to leave the less-than-waterproof camera back in the house.
So this is one I took earlier …
“Heart of Fire”
Close-up of one of the huge blooms on my Benfica amaryllis – the colour has proved really difficult to capture effectively but I think this is a reasonably good result 
That’s a beautiful result! Great color!

Thanks montucky
It was difficult finding a suitable background that didn’t make the camera see it as too dark or brighten it up too much. This was one of the best … now I have to wait until next year to have another go!
