If anyone could be so kind, I would like to know the name of this flower who's picture I took at the Botanical gardens in Vancouver, 2006.
Compare with X Amarcrinum memoria-corsii (Crinodonna corsii). If not that, maybe Crinum X powellii or even Amaryllis belladonna - although it looks like the first one to me, in this view. Plant habit, not visible here would pertain. The Amaryllis flowers separately from the leaves, on bare stalks springing from the tops of the bulbs, near the ground. The Crinum has tall, long-necked bulbs with leaves and flowers borne at the same time, near one another, at the top. The bigenric hybrid is intermediate in characteristics.
You've been extremely helpful to me. You can fault me for not recording additional information in my pictures. I look at them with a non-scholarly viewpoint and like to regard them with a portraitist eye. Each bloom contains a high degree of art unique within it's own type and also apart from other types. Without any regard to true knowledge of plant life I have been photographing flower blooms of all types for many years. I have an idea I would like to pursue, and along those lines I wonder if we could keep in touch with each other? My medium of photography has been digital for a while now but I have kept the best-of-the-best of my slides that I have taken before the digital conversion. I still keep a film camera and a 1.1 macro lens for extreme close-ups and I find that film still reigns supreme in it's recording of the red spectrum. To be continued?
