Most of these Hippeastrums have been and gone though still plenty of the smaller flowered apricot ones left.

My Favourite the Big White

A Big Red

This one has a big flower also.

And this is a little Jumping Spider I found on the leaf they are so tiny only 1cm in size, they ooze personility and are my favourite spider

Mary Ann, such beautiful photos, you really have learned a lot on your photography classes, or wherever you went to learn. You have the magic touch with flowers and photos. Well done

Thanks so much Tricia. I joined an Australian Photography Forum and yes I have learnt a lot since I started there

Lovely. Here they are known as Amaryllis. I have been buying them since they were first introduced here, about 35 years ago from a newspaper add. Have to grow them indoors of course.
I just planted 3 new ones for Christmas. This is the time when the new bulbs are sold.
I love your little spider friend too.
Your photographs are super.

Thanks for that Inga yes they are known as Amaryllis in some countries, three new ones for Christmas what a lovely idea.
I have no idea when the bulbs are sold here as I have never bought any, lots I have grown from seeds that friends have given me
That large white one I bought already flowering in a pot at a Sunday market and my Neighbour gave me the red one and the last pink one.

Great pictures Misty, I only have the "big red" that I split up into two pots and they look o.k., but no flowers yet The Spider is a beauty and looks more friendly than fearsome.

RE: Hippeastrums And Friend.

Thanks Chas they are beautiful flowers and they multiply so fast in this sub-tropical weather so I have a few.

Glad you like it cestrum Thanks we have lots of different jumping spiders in our garden.
Because they are so small they are hard to see and most times they are underneath the leaves.
