A study of 2 calla lilies. Trying to keep occupied during the lockdown. I shot this with a wide angle lens to try something different.

Calla lilies are said to come from the ancient god Hera, the wife of Zeus. In the story, Zeus brought Hercules to nurse from his wife while she was sleeping. He wanted his son to have the strength of the gods. Hera awoke and pushed the baby away from her. Drops of milk flew across the sky creating the milky way and everywhere they landed on earth, calla lilies bloomed.
I planted close to 40 Calla Lilies in Pots and I have them
on the patio table along with some other flowers,
Here's one of my double whites from last year.

And the last comment was from our dear friend Ilse,
I hope she is doing well.
Calla Lilies are another flowering plant that are toxic to animals such as cats. All parts of this lily plant are poisonous.
Glowing in the morning sun.
I hope you have a great day whenever you see this. Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Die Calla Morning Sun strahlt mit ihren exotischen,
orangefarbenen Blüten mit himbeerfarbenem Rand wie die aufgehende Sonne an einem klaren Sommertag.
Über dem dunkelgrünen Blattlaub mit weißen Tupfen
thronen die eleganten Calla-Blüten und ziehen jeden Betrachter in ihren Bann.

The Botanical Garden of Naples, Italy (in Italian: Orto botanico di Napoli, also Real Orto Botanico) is a research facility of the University of Naples Federico II.
The premises take up about 15 hectares and are located on via Foria, adjacent to the gigantic old Albergo dei Poveri, the Royal Hospice for the Poor under the Bourbon dynasty. The facility is part of the university’s Department of Natural Science. It is one of the many scientific and educational facilities instituted under French rule in Naples (1806–15). The Garden opened in 1810.
At present the Garden displays on the premises around 25,000 samples of vegetation, covering about 10,000 plant species. Although open to the public, the Garden is not, strictly speaking, a public park. It is really an educational facility for the university and local high schools and is separate from the agricultural department of the University of Naples. The Garden is also actively engaged in the preservation of endangered plant species. There is also an ethnobotany section of the Garden where plants are studied that are potentially useful, medicinally, to humans. Besides smaller structures on the premises, there are two larger ones: the 17th-century "castle," recently restored, and the 5,000 square meter Merola Greenhouse. The castle contains lecture and display rooms, and houses the Museum of Paleobotany and Ethnobotany. (Wikipedia)
