Zantedeschia the wedding flower (commonly mistaken for the flower of death) is a genus of twenty-eight species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa from South Africa north to Malawi. The name of the genus was given as a tribute to Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi (1773-1846) by the German botanist Kurt Sprengel (1766 - 1833). Common names include Arum lily for Z. aethiopica, calla, and calla lily for Z. elliottiana and Z. rehmannii although it is neither a true lily (Liliaceae), nor Arum or Calla (related genera in Araceae). It is also often erroneously spelled as "cala lily". It has often been used in many paintings, and is visible in many of Diego Rivera's works of art (see The Flower Vendor, amongst others).
The Zantedeschia are rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plants growing to 1-2.5 m tall with leaves 15-45 cm long. The inflorescence is a showy white, yellow or pink spathe shaped like a funnel with a yellow, central, finger-like spadix.[1]
All species are endemic to southern Africa. Z. aethiopica grows naturally in marshy areas and is only deciduous when water becomes scarce. It grows continuously when watered and fed regularly and can survive periods of minor frosts. Z. aethiopica is a very strong and sturdy plant, being able to grow in many soils and habitats, multiplying by rhizome-offsets; it is naturalised and regarded as a weed throughout much of the world. Z. odorata is a rare species, resembling Z. aethiopica, but deciduous and smelling like freesia, endemic to a few localities in South Africa. Z. albomaculata is a widespread and variable species, growing from South Africa north to Kenya, varying in shades of white to cream and pink to orange-shades. Z. elliotiana is known from horticultural sources only and is probably of hybrid origin. Z. jucunda and Z. pentlandii are rare species with beautiful large yellow showy flowers. Z. rehmannii is a pink-flowered species with sword shaped leaves.
All zantedeschias produce large, showy flowers spathes and are often grown both as ornamental plants and for cut flowers.

Beautiful, isn't? It captivated me its freshness and colour.

Hermosa, ¿cierto? Me cautivó su frescura y color.
Pink Azaleas are blooming all around town at the moment. I took a few shots ... well lots actually ... near the Bowling Club when I picked up my husband. He had enough time for a power nap!
I think this variety is called Alphonse Anderson. It is a tall hardy variety which explains why there are so many in flower in town at the moment.
This cake was made for my son's friend who is turning 10 and having a masquerade themed party. Her name is Destiny.
Top tier 6 inch is dark chocolate mudcake, bottom tier 8 inch is cherry ripe mudcake both with dark chocolate ganache and covered in fondant. With sugar flowers and a fondant skirt.
Hand made sugarpaste mask. Only things not edible are the feathers, gold ribbon and diamantes. I covered some rice krispie treats with fondant to place the feathers into and support the mask.
Since it stopped raining 13 years ago, I have rediscovered the virtues and joys of old fashioned flowers like this - a tall geranium that flourishes in the dry area along my front fence. I took it from a cutting of an old overgrown garden many years ago, and it has thrived ever since. EXPLORE #286 6 June 2009. Thank you everyone for your comments and faves!

Ever seen a pink range rover? Here in hollywood, I spotted this pink range rover off robertson street right across from the ivy restaurant. This must be a celebrity car. I will have to do some research on this one

I captured this pink dogwood at my dad's place tonight. It's so pretty! This will be the last spring I will be visiting his yard :(
Not sure if I totally like this. It was my attempt at getting some motion but it didn't really come out as expected. I think I tried like 50 times and this is all I got out of it, lol!!!!!!!
I feel a little melancholy today for some reason. Maybe its because I've been inside for just a little too long. Maybe its because I'm a little tired. Buttttt, I guess the only thing to do now is a little journaling and some good music... I'm thinking maybe Priscilla Ahn :)
