Since the late 70s Bernd Lohaus drew and often painted a flower motif, and parallel he came out with his monumental sculptures in wood. He only rarely showed them together, as if one excluded the other. Lohaus developed a preference for certain types of flowers in different periods. In the 90s for example, it was the Hydrangea, or later, in 2000, the Gladiolus. Lohaus' favorite flower, Hippeastrum (also called "Amaryllis") gets special attention during all the years. An extremely careful observation appears in the beginning, to make way for strong colours, put on with a confident brush stroke.
