Great macro Cee!.
Nothing is blooming here, so it’s archive time until something starts to bring up buds — which might be a couple of months. Since I have a lot of Amaryllis, this is one I thought i might share.

Beautiful shot. Is it a lily? I have been drawing lilies today.

In short the answer is no.
I looked it up on the web and this is what I found.
Although amaryllis flowers resemble lilies, they are not even close relatives. The amaryllis plants that we force into bloom belong to the Hippeastrum genus in the Amaryllidaceaefamily. They originated in the tropical areas of South America, thus are tender perennials and grown as houseplants.
