Deep within, these beautiful blooms is a complex design.

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Thank you so much; it's always a surprise to see my smaller images come up so large on the AM3 site.
@Michael Skorulski: I wasn't sure if the off-center focus would work, but it seems to.

Thank you for your answers, Judy! I feel better and more rested, as I slept a lot these last days. Weather is miserable, cloudy and rainy and windy......we cannot go out to any garden!
Your amaryllis shots fill me with nostalgia....wish I had the flowers here!

@Japanalia: I'm sorry your weather is so poor, but flowers won't bloom if we don't receive any rain, right?
It's good that you are catching up with your rest; you obviously needed it.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
How very brave you are Judy, to reveal so much beauty :)

@Lorraine: God's creations are beyond belief ... this is but one example!
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Oh Judy, you are showing parts of the flower we would never see without your shots! Excellent capture! Thank you!

@Betty: I was amazed that I could get close enough to capture its inner beauty - glad you enjoyed it, Betty.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Wonderful detail and the colors are amazing. I am constantly amazed at God's creation and how when you look at the details it becomes even more amazing.....

@Chris: As I wrote to Lorraine, "God's creations are beyond belief ... this is but one example!"
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I looked at this and the first thing that popped into my head was "The Heart of the Matter". Whatever we call it, it is very beautiful. I have been on holidays and was rudely awaken this morning with a call to go into work. As the Queen would say, "We are not impressed". So in I must go. I would far rather be joining you in your Bible Study. Have a wonderful day my dear friend. Talk later. hugs, Marion.

@Marion: Heart and soul ........ hmm, that sounds good too! *smile*
Ahhhhh, no fair to end your holiday when it's just beginning. Well, it won't be for much longer, so that's a good thing. We're studying Parables from the Back Side ......... FASCINATING!
Soon now, we're off to church for a Pot Luck supper and will hear a local pastor whom we've known since was a college student. I'm sure we'll hear a wonderful message from Debbie!
@Alun Lambert: Thank you, Alun ......... love the spelling of your name!
Dylan from United States
Great details! I like the small amount of green in with all the red too.

@Dylan: I agree; I thought the tip of the leaf added detail, otherwise I could have cropped it closer.
@MJ: Thank you, MJ.
