        Lovely Christel, I had one a year ago but it was pink and white.

        Thanks Sanlynn and Lil! It’s the first and only double amaryllis bulb I’ve ever had I’m finding that it does not make seeds.

        Your composition is lovely, Christel! In my humble opinion it needs more variation of color in the reds as they are almost all the same value and hue. Make one have more orange in it, one more pink, one more maroon, etc., for example. Just suggestions. But that is what I notice upon seeing it for the first time.

        A slight improvement I think

        Yes. I like the lighter version.

            Those red flowers really pop against the dark background, lovely.

            The second version is definitely better Christel.
            Your shapes are good ….. I’m with Kay about the variation of reds – I too sometimes use a yellow glaze to lift the tone as white might make it too pink.:)

            Cheers, Maureen
