When I started I thought I was going to paint white flowers...
But while I gazed the calyxes of these graceful callas, at a certain point I began to see colored shadows and unexpected shades in their white...
In the white callas I found
a pure cobalt blue
an orange pink
an iridescent gray
a greenish ochre
a merely hinted mauve...
... how many other colors are hidden inside white?

Duthie Public Park

OpenAll year
Duthie Park, situated in Aberdeen, Scotland, by the banks of the River Dee, comprises 44 acres (180,000 m2) of land given to the council in 1881 by Lady Elizabeth Duthie of Ruthrieston, in memory of her uncle and of her brother. She purchased the land for £30,000 from the estate of Arthurseat.
The park is noted for the spectacular David Welch winter gardens with tropical and arid houses which contain the second largest collections of bromeliads and of giant cacti respectively in Great Britain (second to the Eden Project in Cornwall, England). Originally opened in 1899, the greenhouses had to be demolished and rebuilt after suffering storm damage in 1969.
Today they are a tranquil place, containing such plants as tree ferns, Spanish moss, anthuria, and banana trees.
Within the gardens are railings salvaged from the south side of the major bridge in the middle of the city's Union Street. These feature unusual metal cats, derived from the city coat of arms, and were saved when the side of the bridge was developed for retail units in the mid-20th century.
In 2013 paddle boats were reintroduced to the park. Kayaks are regularly offered in the boating pond.
Outside the winter garden is the Japanese garden, opened in 1987 to commemorate the dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The park has undergone a £5 million pound refurbishment with funding provided by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Aberdeen City Council.
The original 1883 plans were consulted in order to restore some of the long-lost features. Work was completed in 2013 and the official reopening was on 30 June 2013.

Missing Calla's presence_looking for her in our photos
This picture was difficult to take because of the low lighting. It was also hard to find this flower. Although white calla lilies are easy enough to find - colored one's are extremely difficult. I did crop this picture because I ended up with too much white space. But I love the dreamy look to this flower in this picture.
Calla lilies show up all over our yard in unexpected places. Now that we have rain, it is nice to see drops decorating the flowers with pearls.

The back of the Calla Lily and it's wonderful curves and lines from the back just called to me when I first saw it and I tried my best to capture it! Here's my attempt
