Some flowers are beautiful at every stage and these Amaryllis buds in this High Dynamic Range(HDR) image prove that point. I posted a fully bloomed specimen recently and decided to show it in an earlier development stage along with a couple of siblings.

Really lovely Mark. Excellent shot.
Thanks very much, Edith.
What a lovely study in nature. Great colors here, and the shapes and lines this flower creates are truly second-to-none!!
