Description
Amaryllis Black and White By D Hackett
The original image of a beautiful white and red amaryllis was transformed into digital art by using texture and color changes.
Amaryllis is a bulbous plant, with each bulb being 5�10 cm in diameter. It has several strap-shaped, green leaves, 30�50 cm long and 2�3 cm broad, arranged in two rows. The leaves are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. The plant is not frost-tolerant, nor does it do well in tropical environments since they require a dry resting period between leaf growth and flower spike production.
From the dry ground in late summer (March in its native habitat and August in USDA zone 7) each bulb produces one or two leafless stems 30�60 cm tall, each of which bears a cluster of 2 to 12 funnel-shaped flowers at their tops. Each flower is 6�10 cm diameter with six tepals (three outer sepals, three inner petals, with similar appearance to each other). The usual color is white with crimson veins, but pink or purple also occur naturally.
