It's Spring time! My wife and I decided to try our hand at making our apartment a bit greener. I project this weekend was to re-pot our Calla Lilly and Maru Lilly and add new soil for our cactus. We also decided to try our hand at growing some herbs. Here are the photos of what we've done so far :)
for once I worked out what the flower was!
Zantedeschia aethiopica (known as calla lily and arum lily) is a species in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa.
I shot this during a photography workshop which was held on Whidbey Island which is in the state of Washington. The lily was outside and the setup was quite a challenge, especially positioning the tripod where I wanted it. From the EXIF data you can see that I used a Canon 100-400 lens but it also had the Canon 500D macro diopter on it and I can't recall whether I also used a x1.4 coupler and extension tubes (which I did do on some shots that same day). Fortunately there was no wind because I needed f32 to get the depth of field.
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.

my Calla Lily right now has 28 flowers- it has grown from a small plant into a monster that wants to take over...
no garden in Spain is without Callas.
