In South Africa, where the Calla Lily was originally bred, it is called 'Varkoor' which, in Afrikaans, means a 'Pig's Ear'.
This is a view of a calla lily plant that I saw over the weekend. This is the only calla lily that I have ever seen in Lubbock.
This is my favorite of the four calla lily photos. I love this because of its translucency and beautiful form.

I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers by one of my residents a few weeks ago when I found out my job was safe. My favourite flower is a calla lilly, this particular one seems everlasting! I kept intending to take a pic of it and finally got round to it today.
Maria Anna Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulos, or Maria Callas, Commendatore December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977), was a Greek-American soprano, and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century. Many critics praised her bel canto technique, wide-ranging voice and dramatic interpretations. Her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini and further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, to the music dramas of Wagner. Her musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina.
Born in New York City and raised by an overbearing mother, she received her musical education in Greece and established her career in Italy. Forced to deal with the exigencies of wartime poverty and with myopia that left her nearly blind onstage, she endured struggles and scandal over the course of her career. She turned herself from a heavy woman into a svelte and glamorous one after a mid-career weight loss, which might have contributed to her vocal decline and the premature end of her career. The press exulted in publicizing Callas's temperamental behavior, her supposed rivalry with Renata Tebaldi and her love affair with Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Although her dramatic life and personal tragedy have often overshadowed Callas the artist in the popular press, her artistic achievements were such that Leonard Bernstein called her "the Bible of opera" and her influence so enduring that, in 2006, Opera News wrote of her: "Nearly thirty years after her death, she's still the definition of the diva as artist—and still one of classical music's best-selling vocalists."

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.
It is quite interesting that the calla lily is not a lily at all, and although it is related to the calla genus, it is not really a calla either. Then what is it? Calla lily is actually the common name for the Zantedeschia genus which once was a part of what today is known as the calla genus.
Calla lilies are one of the most beautiful flowers with a unique flower form. They come in a wide array of colors viz., shades of green, pink, purple, yellow and orange.
Callas are also known by such other common names viz., arum lily, trumpet lily, Pig lily, or Miniature Calla Lily. Calla lilies are native to Southern Africa. They are easy to grow and are generally grown from a bulb or rhizome.

Frame it - Another image edited for Kim Klassen's Beyond Layers II class. I loved the assortment of colors in this group of calla lillies.
Our Calla photography makes our hearts leap for joy and realize it’s natural perfection in all of it’s behavior. In our Flora Gallery we took different common plants to represent their appearances.
The Calla Lily has just a regal performance, so that we decided to dedicate a whole Gallery to it!
