Arum lily - Zantedeschia
Although called the arum lily, Zantedeschia aethiopica is neither an arum (the genus Arum) nor a lily (genus Lilium).
The genus Zantedeschia is restricted to the African continent with seven species recognised: Zantedeschia aethiopica, Z. albomaculata, Z. elliottiana,Z. jucunda, Z. odoratum, Z. pentlandii and Z. rehmannii. The common arum is found from the Western Cape through the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and into the Northern Province. It is evergreen or deciduous depending on the habitat and rainfall regime. In the Western Cape it is dormant in summer, and in the summer rainfall areas it is dormant in winter. It will remain evergreen in both areas if growing in marshy conditions which remain wet all year round.
Derivation of name and historical aspects
This lovely plant was introduced to Europe very early on, apparently before Van Riebeeck had established the refreshment station at the Cape. It is also illustrated in an account of the Royal Garden in Paris in 1664. It was sent as one of the interesting plants of the Cape to Europe by Simon van der Stel some time before 1697.
Zantedeschia is named after Professor Zantedeschi, probably Giovanni Zantedeschi,1773-1846, an Italian physician and botanist, although there is some uncertainty about this. The name aethiopica is not directly related to Ethiopia. In classical times it meant south of the known world i.e. south of Egypt and Libya. Several southern African plants were given this specific epiphet early on.
Ecology
The flowers of Zantedeschia aethiopica are faintly scented and this attracts various crawling insects and bees which are responsible for pollinating the flowers. Cross pollination occurs as the anthers of each flower ripen before the ovaries. A white crab spider of the family Thomisidae visits the flower to eat the insects. This spider does not spin webs and uses its whiteness as camouflage against the spathe. In the Western Cape, a tiny frog Hyperolius hopstocki is also attacted to the arum lily flowers. The spathe turns green after flowering and covers the ripening berries. It rots away when these are ripe, and the succulent yellow berries attract birds, which are responsible for seed dispersal.
Talented Photographer, Charlie, before heading out to a rainy sunday shoot.
As part of my new year's resolutions, I'm planning to shoot more medium format this year. His photos definitely made me want to shoot MF more, but I'm hoping to do so with my own style.
The photo was taken with an extremely old film, almost as old as the model himself and expired a couple decades ago. The poor old film was ABUSIVELY pushed. :p
Film photography forever!

A team of Israeli scientists has worked out that the human brains magical ability to slow time indicates that our present is an unreliable memory played nanoseconds too late .
Researcher David Eagleman worked out that when time seems to slow down in real life, our senses and cognition must somehow speed up. Either that, or time is an illusion and lunchtime doubly so.
Faced with lots of reports from people who claim that "time slowed down" Eagleman wondered if the experience of slow motion really happens or does it only seem to have happened in retrospect?
He found a thrill ride near the university called Suspended Catch Air Device, an open-air tower from which participants are dropped, upside down, into a net 150 feet below. The person just falls for three seconds, then hit the net at 70 miles per hour.
Eagleman asked subjects who'd already taken the plunge to estimate how long it took them to fall. Then he asked them to watch someone else fall and then estimate the elapsed time for their plunge in the same way. On average, participants felt that their own experience had taken 36 percent longer.

This is a series of the uncropped photos used to create This image. The video has a bluish tint to it because my video editor sucks and wouldn't apply all of the color setting to all frames, so I tried to get close enough with the ones that would.
I also extended the apparent length by generating a transition frame between each image.
I've always been a chocolate fan, but I was browsing through the frame-by-frame book and this almond cake caught my tummy in full-gaze.
It is delicious!

The cake is light, filling and luscious with fresh raspberries on the side.
