Red Amaryllis is painted in the style of American Realism. Red Amaryllis has a custom archival frame.Red amaryllis symbolizes passion, love and attraction. According to Greek mythology, the amaryllis originated from the love Amaryllis had for Alteo. Amaryllis, a maiden, fell in love with the shepherd Alteo. He was strong and handsome, and had a passion for flowers. To learn how to win his affection, Amaryllis went to the Oracle of Delphi for advice. On the Oracle’s orders, she stood in front of Alteo’s house for thirty nights piercing her heart with a golden arrow. On the thirtieth night, a beautiful flower grew from her blood and helped her win Alteo’s love. See Images below. Look for free shipping at checkout Gary J.
