Calla Lilies near Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands, a hilly peninsula at the southernmost end of Marin County, California, United States, located just north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects the two counties and peninsulas. The Marin Headlands were home to the Native American Coastal Miwok tribe, who moved between the bay side of the peninsula and the ocean side seasonally, for thousands of years. The entire area is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Headlands are famous for their views of the Bay Area, especially of the Golden Gate Bridge. In the waters surrounding the Headlands, harbor seals can be found year-round, gray whales can be seen in the spring and fall, and seabirds such as common murres and surf scoters swim within sight of shore.
I love Calla Lilies! The curves call out, and along with the lines, draw me in. This is from the archives and I recently came across it and kept thinking about it. When that happens I have to post!
Calla lilies thrive in San Francisco, and I hope this newly planted one in my garden will flourish. Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

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.
Calla Lilies are another flowering plant that are toxic to animals such as cats. All parts of this lily plant are poisonous.
