One from my 365 project.

As we seem to be drowning in Union flags in the UK at the moment, here's some Photoshop silliness with the calla lily.

This is achieved by following Gavin Hoey's 'Wrap a texture around an object' tutorial:

Incidentally, I once did this to poor Humphrey. I can't remember why.:

No photo editing....straight from the camera.

They grow wild around here.

Back to the flowers!

Fusion image of an X-Ray and a HDR photo of Calla lilies. There is inner structure of the X-Ray and colors of the HDR photo. To realize a fusion image I had to map the X-Ray onto the HDR photo, because the Macro-lens and the X-ray tube have a different geometry.

Read more about this image on my new blog.

Calla Lilies are so sculptural and defined - they are a very elegant bloom.

Any of several chiefly southern African plants of the genus Zantedeschia, widely cultivated as ornamentals and cut flowers for their showy white, yellow, pink, or purple spathes.

Yes, I do have a favorite flower...whats the big deal?

I want to thank my friend Anita who found these scan

Calla ist eine exotische Blume, die ursprünglich aus Südamerika stammt. Dank ihrer langlebigen, edlen Blüte eignet sie sich besonders gut als Beet- und Kübelpflanze, ist aber auch als Schnittblume in die Vase gestellt ein echter Hingucker. Designer und Innenausstatter verwenden sie gerne als Solistin, einzeln in die Vase gestellt.

Für euch alle...einen schönen Freitag.

Hier regnet es...und ich könnte meine Decke am liebsten...wieder übern Kopf ziehen.

The grocery store had a ton of lovely Easter lilies and some calla lilies in 4 different colors.The two below aren't great shots because the lighting was very uneven, but I wanted to show the pretty colors!

Another one of the flowers my husband surprised me with the other day. The colors and the way this photo teases with a glimpse attracted me to posting it.

The ideal flower for wedding (originary from South Africa).

I found it blooming this morning in the balcony.

I bought the calla's pot with flowers in 2007.

After the flower I left the pot outside because I thought that it's "only one season" plant.

But surprisingly, in 2008 spring, the new leaves came out.

Then I just looked them....they were eaten by caterpillars.

So 2009 spring, I put the pot on the 2nd floor balcony and the leaves came out again.

But no flowers.

This year, I already learned many.

I composted them and protect them from caterpillars.

Then today it blooms!

How Happy!!! :D

The shape of calla lilies and their colors fascinate me.

Some perfect white flowers found in the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Victoria.

Flowers~

Preposterously feminine in their folds, she waits for the rest of the world

to see the wombs of the earth, and life expelled like pollen~

stamens shuddering with life,

slide into the velvet folds of the calla lily~

the most primordial of pleasures.

Hi all, I hope your having a fun week and not working to hard. ;-)

I don't have any time for new shots at the moment, so here's few I did back in August.

Cheers, Brenda. (-:

Close view of the Callas. Considering the fact they are not my favorite flowers, I must admit they turned out quite natural looking. The bride commented that all the quests thought they were real :)

Only on the close up photo I realised the leaf needed some filing ...
