Today's Flower's # 49

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 4 GMT is the post time.

I know I showed my Calla Lilies last year but the bed is a wonderful producer. I mulch it with leaves each year to protect it from the winter and they come back so wonderful each year. I have two types as you can see from the different type leaves.
The Pink Calla Lilies have a solid green leaf.

They put on a wonderful show in the early Summer.
The White Calla Lilies have a green leaf with white spots. You can see a few pink ones close by.
See some other great sites to see some great flowers.

    Beautiful Lilies, Tom. We don't have any Callas--but they are just gorgeous.

    Have a great Sunday.
    Hugs to you both,
    Betsy

    I didn't see them last year, so they are new to me. Besides that, who can help but post such beauties?

    Oh, goodness, those are beautiful!! I have only one (1) calla lily in my garden, and I think it needs more sun. Thanks for sharing your great photos.

    Are those hippos I see in your header?

    Beautiful calla, they are so well photographed. We have a post on Today's Flower in May of Calla in Taiwan. I think it was a lot hotter in Taiwan, thus the season was earlier.

    Can't help it, everytime someone says Calla Lilly I just hear Kathrine Hepburn say, "such a strange flower..."

    "The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower, suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died." (Stage Door)

    How long has that Calla bed been there? It's beautiful, I'm thinking mine are in way too much sun.

    Oh my, yes, the lilies are very pretty indeed. I'm not too familiar to these flowers in how to grow them and such except that they are beautiful. One day if I get a home with gardens, I will need to come to you for advice on how to grow these lovelies. =)

    Lovely shots of the lilies Tom and I certainly did enjoy your post on the wilds. Places like these are so much nicer to visit than those where the animals are kept in small cages.
