When the bud outshines the bloom

When I posted the partially open bud of this same amaryllis plant last week, I already found it rather lovely, this is another bud on the same plant, less open this time, but so delicate and elegant. Just to show you that what I say in this particular case is true, I've enclosed the full-blown flower as an extra, which I find to be a bit of a let-down. 

Thank you to Anni for the Flower Friday challenge.
