Merry Christmas to you, Bill. This is a beautiful image of the Amaryllis and that wall works just fine.

Merry Christmas Bill. I have one of these plants that should have a photo-worthy set of blooms in a few days. The lighting is wonderful and the developing flowers look good against the dark BG…Jim

Bill, another wonderful floral image here. The BG is perfect IMO. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to you and everyone here at NPN… :star_struck:
