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 Lily -
Calla, Calla Lily
by C. Colston Burrell
The great, white, waxy flowers of calla, also called calla lily,
so often seen at florists are nearly weeds in their native South Africa.
They're actually perennials in Zones 8, 9, and 10, but since they are not tolerant of frost,
they are grown as annuals in other parts of the United States. Gardeners throughout the country
can enjoy their lush, green leaves and bright flowers in summer by planting the tuber each spring.
Calla, also called Calla Lily, bloom as white to green annual flowers, yellow to orange annual flowers, and pink to fuchsia annual flowers.
Description of calla lily: Glistening, white flowers grow to 2 feet above the arrowhead-shaped leaves that arise from the rhizome planted below ground. By summer's end, a large clump of leaves displays a more or less continuous succession of flowers.
Growing calla lily: For maximum enjoyment, start rhizomes indoors 8 weeks prior to warm weather. Plant the large tubers in a soil mix high in peat or other organic matter and grow at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep uniformly moist and fertilize weekly with a water-soluble fertilizer. Plant outside in a rich soil high in organic matter that retains moisture. Incorporate a slow-release fertilizer before planting. Grow in full sun for maximum growth. In the fall, lift before frost, drying off foliage and rhizomes. Store in a frost-free place until spring.
Propagating calla lily: Buy rhizomes at garden centers in the spring. Check to make sure they are firm and moist.
Uses for calla lily: Plant callas anywhere you want to achieve a tropical look. They also make dramatic container plants and superb cut flowers.
Calla lily related species: Z. rehmannii is the pink calla, although it shows much variation in spathe color from wine-red to nearly white. It is smaller, growing to 18 inches. Z. elliotiana is a species with white, spotted foliage, and a golden-yellow spathe. The California series of dwarf callas comes in a full range of colors.
Calla lily related varieties: Green Goddess is green with a white throat. White Giant reaches 6 feet and has white flowers and speckled foliage.
Scientific name of calla lily: Zantesdeschia aethiopica

Another Calla Lily responding to the area I opened up to the sun.
That's a Virginia Creeper at its base. A vine that resembles Poison Ivy but has 5 leaves.

A freshly picked bouquet of Calla Lilies. I watched a woman in a garden near a park in Bogata pick this bouquet and carry them over her shoulder to her house. So beautiful.

Wikipedia (Edited): "Białowieża Forest is a forest on the border between Belarus and Poland. It is one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain. The forest is home to 800 European bison, Europe's heaviest land animal. UNESCO . . . designated the Polish Biosphere Reserve Białowieża in 1976 and the Belarusian Biosphere Reserve Biełavieskaja pušča in 1993. . . .
Large-scale logging started in 2017. 190 000 m³ of wood (160 000 to 180 000 trees) was felled, the largest volume of logging since 1988. The Polish government has ignored pleas from UNESCO to stop logging the old-growth parts of the forest, as well as a court order of the European Court of Justice to halt the logging activities. The final verdict fell on 17 April 2018, ruling that EU law has been infringed."
These photographs were taken in 2009; I shall not be revisiting, given the situation. UNESCO is monitoring: "The World Heritage Committee, Having examined Document WHC/21/44.COM/7B.Add,
Recalling Decision 43 COM 7B.14, adopted at its 43rd session (Baku, 2019),
Notes with satisfaction that forest management activities in the property, including logging, have remained at a very low scale, and only limited to the active management zone, as recommended by the 2018 Reactive Monitoring mission; . . . " whc.unesco.org/en/decisions/7816 (accessed 2023.06.20)
after three weeks 'holiday', my creative imagination is back 100%, haha.
What I see here is a pair of feet shod in a pair of Moroccan Ali Baba Babouche, LOL.
They just tried them on and can't stop dancing now!
Zantedeschia, usually erroneously called Calla or Arum lilies (only when white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.
The Zantedeschia species are very poisonous, capable of killing livestock and children.
All parts of the plant are toxic, and produce irritation and swelling of the mouth and throat, acute vomiting and diarrhoea.
All species are endemic to southern Africa.
Thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

Haha!! I forgot to carry my memory card this eve but a kind photographer, Bernardo lent his memory card for these shots. Thankful to all the amazing souls out there who help each other. For the shot, I focus stacked 7 layers of HDR images (3 exposures) so making it a 21 image blend. Still some parts are out of focus but that’s okay, will make a sharper image next time.
I bring two cameras and two lenses
For saving shooting times I don't need change lens
One for macro one for any subjects
I have lived in my home for nearly 16 years now. About 10 years ago some bluebells started growing in the back yard. I never planted them, they just came up. Every year for the past 5 or so years the greens of a daffodil that I never planted grow, but never flower. This year it did. The last 3 years the greens from this calla lily started growing and never bloomed. This year there are 3 flowers.
It is like there is a ghost of the original gardener tending the gardens in my yard.
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.
