A dark pink calla for #20 in this series.

A 'volunteer' wild calla (Calla plaustris) in my small pond.

I transplanted a wild calla lily here maybe 20 years ago and it survived for two years, then I never saw it again.

Somehow, some way... there is a new calla lily in my pond, on exactly the opposite side.

Zantedeschia aethiopica.

When the sun hit the flower it turned it into a flashlight

I placed this flower near my window and used the light from the sun.

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.

My favourite lily pic. Shot on Ilford film, the original print was split toned in Sepia and Selenium, this duotone is a very close approximation

Close to a Calla

This is the Calla Lily we have growing in our garden.

This is a yellow pudding cake filled with chocolate buttercream and iced with a french vanilla buttercream. It's adorned with gumpaste callas and fondant leaves. The beargrass is artificial.
