Eine besonders exotische Blume ist die Calla, die ursprünglich aus Südamerika stammt und in diesem Jahr in unserem Garten blüht.
Was für den Betrachter wie eine ganz besonders üppige Blüte wirkt, ist jedoch tatsächlich nur ein Hüllblatt - auch als Blütenvase bezeichnet. Die eigentliche Blüte ist der gelbe Kolben im Inneren. Aus der ursprünglich weissen Ausgangsfarbe sind viele Neuzüchtungen entstanden. Calla in den Farben gelb, pink und apricot sind bereits weit verbreitet.
Calla lilies are so dramatic—even just one can steal the spotlight and draw you into its mystery. This dark backdrop almost reminds me of Broadway show's curtain.
Used several French Kiss Textures backgrounds.

I remain in Flickr hell by trying to change settings to flickr uploader in Lightroom 3. I thought if I just removed photos from my photostream in LR3 they would stay in flickr and I could adjust settings for individual photos instead of republishing every photo each time I changed a setting (apparent bad bug in LR3). Instead, all of the photos with their kind and thoughtful comments completely disappeared from Flickr--including an Explored image. So I am uploading once again, trying to add tags and comments and keep calm. Please ignore these photos. I apologize for the intrusion. Sigh!!!!

I have been resting my rods and cones. Sometimes I get visual overload. So I've returned to my yoga practice lately and unfortunately after taking these calla lilly shots I thought I was a ninja and jumped off a retaining wall and tweaked my back (this is probably what it looks like now). Hopefully yoga or the chiropractor can fix it. Do you see the little meditating Buddha...it's laughing at my folly :-)
Happy Tuesday!
Virtually no image manipulation. Only some sharpness, clarity, and vibrancy using Aperture 3.
You can buy a fine art quality print HERE!!!
Zantedeschia is a genus of twenty-eight species of flowering plants in the family Araceae. Common names include arum lily and calla lily.
I bought Calla Lily yesterday to practice flower photography because I couldn't wait for my Orchid and Calendula to flower. They might take a little more time. I love this flower, but I didn't know it is poisonous... Yikes!
No special lighting here. Just natural light against white wall.

Wild calla lily (Zantedeschia, most likely aethiopica) growing in the creek leading to Garrapata Beach, Big Sur, California. These callas have been photographed thousands of times, no doubt, as they are situated in a classic setting: a narrow creek leading to the ocean.
I first saw these callas about 40 years ago when I lived in the Monterey area. I wanted to photograph them then, but didn't have time, didn't have the camera with me, and all the usual excuses we all know. I finally made up for one of those missed opportunities.
I've enjoyed resurrecting old photos from "the shoebox"; it's interesting to resurrect one you never quite got around to taking...
