Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ p.s. The name "Amaryllis" is derived from the beautiful shepherdess in the pastoral poems of the ancient Roman poet Virgil. 🌺 It is associated with a Greek mythological love story where she caused a red flower to bloom with her own blood for the sake of the boy she loved.🩸🥰🌞✌️
