Description
Macro photography of a Calla Lily flower petal before it opens. The word Calla comes from the Greek term for beautiful. The Calla lily is a perennial bulb and although it is called a lily, Calla lilies are not really lilies. Calla is a flowering genus of twenty-eight species originating in Africa and growing mostly in marshy areas. Calla lilies are grown from bulbous roots with finger-like growths known as tubers and they are poisonous.
