This is a digitally enhanced photo of a dramatic white calla lily in front of a colorful bunch of grass and rushes.
Commonly called a Calla Lily or Arum Lily, although not a lily at all. Belongs to Zantedeschia aethiopica in the family Araceae.
Please enlarge. I prefer my photos to be enjoyed in full screen format.
Ein weiterer Steg? Ein weiterer Glas-Stahl-Bauwerk?
Nein, BLUMEN! Das erste Ergebnis meiner Calla-Reihe ist online. Da es etwas ganz anderes ist als das, was ich bisher gemacht habe, bin ich sehr auf eure Meinungen gespannt!

Calla Lilies are one of my favorite early spring flowers to capture. In this composition I used Lenabem-Anna's Texture - 45 to enhance the image.
Calla lily plants produce classically beautiful flowers, prized for their elegant, trumpet-like shape. The white calla lily is one of the most well-known and popular varieties, but if you're a fan, check out the many other colorful options. Calla lily is available in a multitude of colors, grows from rhizomes and is ideal for use in beds and borders. You can also grow calla lilies in containers outdoors or as houseplants. Although not considered true lilies, the calla lily (Zantedeschia sp.) is an extraordinary flower.
Zantedeschia aethiopica, commonly known as calla lily and arum lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa in Lesotho, South Africa, and Eswatini.
The derivative of the word calla is the Greek word for beauty — calla. The flowers have an interesting mythological history. 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.
They also have been tied to Venus in Roman mythology. Venus saw the flower and felt her beauty was threatened by its pure white blossom so she cursed it with an unsightly pistil.
