Spring Garden Kolams - Amaryllis

I think this is one flower that really has a long shelf life and I just love the way it looks. Last Christmas my mum got a stalk of this flower from a friend as a christmas present with 2 flowers and 5 buds and by the time the last bud bloomed in her vase it was more than one month. I took a picture of the flower for my collection. On seeing the same flower bloom in the spring garden I got a brainwave. I realised that I had made one design of this flower during my saree designing classes and searched all over till I found it. Well that was quite a small image to I enlarged it and added some colour to it. I made a collage of the real flower and my computer saree design amaryllis. Since my creation was not a copy of the picture you see above - I purposely put both in different angles so you won't compare both the images. I am quite sure you all will like it....
