Calla Lily – Zantedeschia Hybrid
Wordless Wednesday Thumbnail Gallery
On Wednesdays all over the internet bloggers post a photo with no words to explain it. The idea is the photo says so much it doesn’t need a description.

Oh what a rich colour, is it a house plant?

It’s an annual … Calla Lily. I haven’t heard of this annual before, Gilly, but I would think this could be just as happy in a pot indoors as it is in one outdoors?

The detail and clarity of your flower photos (and insects and other close ups) is always exquisite!

Perfection, by Nature; and caught by your camera.

Thank you Allison. I really do need to get back to using my ‘real’ camera more … this is ‘phonography’. Pretty darned good piece of equipment for these grab shots. I thought I was catching the raindrops slowing working their way down the Calla Lily funnel, but the deeply rich colour and tones of the blossom almost obliterated those droplets.

The Lily by Mary Oliver
Night after night
darkness
enters the face
of the lily
which, lightly,
closes its five walls
around itself,
and its purse
of honey,
and its fragrance,
and is content
to stand there
in the garden,
not quite sleeping,
and, maybe,
saying in lily language
some small words
we can’t hear
even when there is no wind
anywhere,
its lips
are so secret,
its tongue
is so hidden –
or, maybe,
it says nothing at all
but just stands there
with the patience
of vegetables
and saints
until the whole earth has turned around
and the silver moon
becomes the golden sun –
as the lily absolutely knew it would,
which is itself, isn’t it,
the perfect prayer?

A lick of flame, a kiss of fire! This is so almost sinisterly beautiful Cheryl. Lovely. An exciting start to the wordless day.

Far too exotic and richly coloured for this woodland dweller, Barabara! But there it is. In the planter on the front steps.
