I bought a little pot of Callas and played with them a bit in the morning sunshine. Such pretty, musical lines! I really love the unfocussed blend of colours here and the suggestions of form!
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.

In an hour at Home Depot I found not only many different plants with a variety of textured leaves, but also many flowers!! What fun to discover and capture them!

From Wikipedia ~ All Zantedeschia produce large, showy flowers spathes and are often grown both as ornamental plants and for cut flowers. Zantedeschia are relatively hardy plants, but some are more winter-hardy than others. In this regard there may be considered two groups, a hardy outdoor group with large white flowers (arum lilies) and less hardy group with white-spotted leaves and flowers in many colors (calla lilies), such as yellow, orange, pink and purple.
