When Amaryllis fair doth show the richness of her fiery glow,
The modest Lily hides her head; the former seems so proudly spread
To win the gaze of human eye, which soonest brightest things doth spy.
Yet vainly is the honour won, since hastily her course is run;
she blossoms, blooms, -she fades, -she dies, -they who admired, now despise.

Terrific shot of the beautiful flower. You are the first post for amarillus I have seen.
A beautiful amaryllis, so sad it is destined to last only a day.

A beautiful amaryllis, - I love them for January and February here, - my first is out with seven blooms and I have three more about to flower so they will see me through until spring I think! I hope....
Beautiful. It looks like a painting. I'm fond of the amaryllis but don't have any this year - I miss them. Thanks for the post and the lovely words.
