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!

According to Wikipedia a Calla is “…is very poisonous when fresh due to its high oxalic acid content, but the rhizome … is edible after drying, grinding, leaching and boiling…”
Well, for me it is just a beautiful flower, and I’d rather have it on the table than on the plate!

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.

I have never seen wild callas (Calla palustris) so large, so lush. Leaves were easily 5-6 inches (12-15cm) across. This colony was growing in a sunken, swampy, seasonal wetland area near Creamer's Field in Fairbanks.
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.
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.
