Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share these images of my Calla Lillies in my back yard.
The calla lily is a beautiful and majestic flower that gardeners love to grow and wedding planners love to use. It is a trumpet-shaped flower with large leaves, making it predominant in a bouquet. The calla lily is popular with painters because of its appealing and elegant shape. Home designers love its simplicity. A single calla lily placed in a long stem vase is a favorite of home decor.
Identification
Calla lilies are grown from rhizomes. Once planted, the rhizomes will multiply producing the trumpet-shaped flower that gardeners love. The calla lily is not really a lily or a calla. It is part of the zantedeschia genus and is native to Southern Africa. It is a hardy flower that grows easily in most soils as long as the climate is humid. The calla lily is also an excellent plant for the home.
Significance
Like most flowers, the calla lily has a symbolic meaning. It is, ironically, associated with both weddings and funerals. The calla lily is symbolic of marriage and purity because of its white color and its trumpet-like shape, similar to a woman's shape. It is also the symbol of rebirth and resurrection.
Effects
The calla lily's common color is white, but it is available in any color such as yellow, red, burgundy, pink, orange and even a purple/black combination. When calla lilies are used in weddings, the usual choice is white because of its elegant look and symbolism of purity. A bouquet of calla lilies is majestic; add roses and it creates a stunning contrast. Because of the calla lily's popularity, it is easy to build a wedding theme around it. Accessories touting the calla lily are plentiful.
I hope you enjoy the photography and the beautiful flowers.

Another selection from my Mom's garden. In this case, I like the slight tinge of red at the petal edges, and the "dirty" earthy look, as well... then again, it's Still so Sunny.
I also can't resist making a monochrome type version....
UPDATE: New version, below, with more of the Pinks, for Maureen (MontanaRaven).
