Zantedeschia
For all you botanists out there that are up on your plant genera, you'll know that Zantedeschia is the genus for Calla Lily. It's a clean and simple flower with elegant lines at a quick glance, but I find it increasingly detailed and complex the more I look at it up close. Especially with the pop of magenta striations built in to this one.

Wow — very cool capture. (That from a non-botanist-type blogger.) Btw, thanks for stopping by SDP. The entire staff was thrilled to read your comments. : )

I love those colours, with the orange, brown and black against the magenta! Also the soft focus as the magenta fades out and the glorious green and shades of cream in the white. You are getting better and better!

Makes it a rather simple way to get a pretty photo when the subject is photogenic! Thank you.
