Calla is the national flower of St. Helena, it grows there widely. In new Zealand one cultivar is even listed on a national pest plan and they try to prevent the sale, distribution and cultivation. The origin from this plant is in the middle to southern African region.

Frederic Chopin: "Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art."
This statuesque proud flower did not need anything else...
The pure black and white brings out the structure and shape, no?
Mono is all about the light, shapes and the textures.
An image is more an abstraction when not in colour.
Zantedeschia, usually erroneously called Calla or Arum lilies (only when white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.
All parts of the plant are toxic!
Monochromatic? Not really he?
All the shades of grey... from a true black to white... as it should be!

The calla lilies (probably Zantedeschia aethiopica) have taken a bit of a beating from all of the work we've been having done around the house right now, but they're still in exuberant bloom.
These grow right at the base of a Northern California Black Walnut (Juglans californica var. hindsii) and seem to thrive despite the high amount of tannic acid from the dripline and exuded by the roots of this tree. They also don't mind the part shade they receive, and grow in nearly full shade elsewhere.
