Hippeastrums

festival plus 020

I love these wonderful flowers. During autumn and winter there is nothing to see in a garden where hippeastrums grow and come spring they push through the soil in some places looking like a giant green spear that opens out to brilliant coloured flowers.

These flowers were in the garden of one of my house sits at Manly in Queensland, Australia.

Varieties grow in the Central and South America in the tropical areas.
