CALLA LILIES

Calla lilies are one of the most beautiful flowers with a unique form of the flower, coming in a wide array of clors. Callas are also known by such other common names - arum lily, trumpet lily, Pig lily. Calla lilies are native to South Africa, which are easy to grow bulb or rhizome plants.

Calla lilies are excellent houseplants, best for beds, borders, bouquets and flower arrangements. Calla lilies are falsely called as lilies, but are not true lilies.

Calla lilies or callas (Zantedeschia species) are not true lilies. In colder countries, the tuber-like rhizomes must be dug up and stored inside over the winter.

This golden Calla Lily was growing at the Ngatea Water Gardens, on State Highway 2. Situated only 1 hour from Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Coromandel this 5-acre property is designed for unusual birds and fish with beautiful gardens and water features, as well as many funny signs and scenes throughout.

love the pov and the striking yellow against the green bg. simply great, Janice

Hi Janice,
Although I'm not sure about the DOF and/or sharpness of the lower part of the image, but beside of that an image of a very special flower (for me). The yellow is in fine contrast with the green background. The black frame works fine here.
Kia ora!
Hans
