Close-up of the spadix of a calla lily. This image was taken with the Raynox macro conversion lens and the vignetting on the left side is a lens effect. I tried to crop it out but would've lost too much of the picture. The yellow pillar in the "flower's" center is actually an inflorescence covered in many little flowers. The white stringy stuff I believe is the pollen from these flowers. The large curved white leaf surrounding the inflorescence stalk is a bract (modified leaf for attracting pollinators) and called a spathe in this type of flower architecture.

I've never seen a calla lily like this before I bought an armful at the Philadelphia FLower Show last week; they're miniature, but the most unique thing about them is their color--white and purple, a combination I've seen a million times in pansies, but never in calla lilies.
My calla lillies, revisited.

Handcrafted French beaded miniature calla lilies brooch on a pin back. Inspired by my mother-in-law, this brooch is the perfect gift for Mother's Day and any other occassion. Petals available in any color. Would also look wonderful hanging on a wall in a shadow box.
Length is approximately 5 ½ inches.
These flowers were made using the French beading technique. Tiny seed beads are strung onto flexible wire and shaped into various flower components. These parts are then crafted to make a flower and then tape and embroidery floss are wrapped around the stem to give them a silky finish.

Oxythyrea funesta beetles are often found inside calla lilies, munching away at the central stem. They are incredibly lazy and, I would suspect, not very efficient at pollination...
