The Calla Lilies are in bloom. I'm using a brush pen today just to try something different. I don't use one very often and haven't mastered the technique, but I like the bold line. The real story of these plants is in their enormous leaves.

Strathmore 5 x 8 inch Visual Journal, Kuretake No. 8 Fountain brush pen with a Platinum Carbon Black ink cartridge, and Daniel Smith watercolors.

I have two gigantic calla lilly plants out in front of my house. They bless me with their beauty every May and I look forward to their greeting.

A bit of luck. Perfect light on a calla on our patio and I was shooting just when a fly dropped in to help with pollination.

In this view of the calle lily I hardened the edges a bit and upped the saturation to give it a bit more punch.

I haven't posted any flowers in a while and I really missed them. More to come.

I took this photo by laying flat on the ground at the Edinburgh Botanical Garden and aiming through a mass of leaves. Worth the effort, I think.

Since it's been snowing like crazy (as you can see on the few pictures I took this morning) I have decided to play with color today. A friend brought these for me, knowing how much I love flowers and I have been dying to get some shots of them before I kill them... (that's what happened to my poor beautiful orchid - I am afraid it is dead ;(.. or as close to it as can get..). So here they are, a little pretty calla lilies. There was still sun shining and a hope of spring in the air, when I photographed these... *sigh*

Calla Lily

[Calla_lily41205]

The lilies are blooming, and despite all of the rain are holding thier shape nicely.

Calla lilies were first imported from South Africa to the Americas in the mid-nineteenth century.

The waxy white blooms and spear-headed leaves of the cally lily began to appeal to American artists shortly after its importation. In the early twentieth century, the cally lily began to enjoy a heightened popularity especially in the 1920's and 1930's when it became a darling subject of painters and photographers.

Thus, the white blooms and spear-headed leaves of the calla lily became a symbol of radiant beauty and sophistication.
