My Amaryllis picture is used by a US company for its online business

I know I have been taking great-looking pictures of Amaryllis/Hippeastrum flowers, but I never expect that my pictures are worthy of inclusion in an on-line catalogue.

I found that 2 companies in the USA are using my Hippeastrum Cybister 'Bogota' picture for its on-line business, without informing me or obtaining my permission. The two companies a big corporations and are offering many varieties of bulbs.

Here is the picture of the flower that I took using my Olympus u840, with a purple background. The paper is slightly crumpled.




The image that they use. Notice the slighly crumpled paper behind the topmost petal.


And here is the picture being displayed at Willow Creek Gardens

And another at its sister company, EasytoGrow Bulbs

Plagiarism is a form of flattery, I guess :-)
