This flower is so perfect and elegant! Did you know that Calla Lily is a traditional symbol and gift of marriage?

National Botanic Gardens Glasnevin, Dublin

Just had to catch a picture of that lovely little friend. She had put her carpet around her all by herself :)

I took this on a walk in my neighborhood.

Nei condomini in silenzio

la domenica, coi gatti pure loro fuggiti

tu nell’ombra del cortile

sei la calla tra i fondi di caffè

e le bestemmie dei vecchi rimasti

a scatarrare. Il giallo del tuo cuore

è la tosse del vicino che ti espelle.

Dalle caverne dietro le persiane

i loro occhi ti rotolano dentro

quando passi, sfiorando le parole

oscure della tua gioia dolente.

Voli col tuo sogno di polline,

e il corpo niveo resta immobile

ad accogliere gli sputi

e la cesoia dall’alto.

Prima dell’esilio agonico in un vaso,

una cetonia si posa

e ti si annuncia come un angelo.

Penso a Fernanda all’ombra di quel re

che mai nessuno ha veduto

e vedrà, e penso a te così lontana

che non sai, e ti stringo, cara

con dita di ruggine azzurra.

Vermeer is a new variety of Calla Lily created by tissue culture and protected by US Patent

The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died.

Katherine Hepburn, Stage Door, 1937

Zantedeschia (Calla Lily) is a genus of eight species of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants in the aroid family, Araceae, native to southern Africa (from South Africa northeast to Malawi). The genus has been introduced, in some form, on every continent (minus Antarctica).

...Katharine Hepburn spoke this line for the first time in 1933. She had been cast in a now-forgotten play called The Lake
