Description
Zantedeschia aethiopica.
The Calla lily is a perennial bulb.
Though 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. These are known as tubers.
The blooming time of Calla lilies is late spring.
The word Calla comes from the Greek term for beautiful.
The Calla lily roots are poisonous.

I first learned about the calla lily on my trip to CA in 2014 while at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I am in love with the calla lily. You have captured this so eloquently Joe. Love the shadows, lighting, and I can see the texture on the pedal. Fabulous! l/v.
