Curvy Calla Lilies

I made the mistake of not buying a pot of calla lilies before Mother’s Day when I first saw them at the nursery last week. When I went back a few days later they had all be sold! So - I have reverted back to enjoying the next best thing - the images I took at the Longwood Gardens Conservatory at the beginning of the month. I liked the yellow variety the best.

The funnel shapes from the side - often tinged with green at the base and an upward flare at the top - has a backdrop of very different color and shape of hydrangeas.

My favorite angle on the flowers is from the top - the gentle spiral and the uncurling of the edges as the flower opens fully.
