Description
One of my favorite flowers, but I find it quite challenging to get a good picture of it.The sculptural quality of the Calla makes it an appealing study.This one called for a modern approach in stark and sculptural black and white. I have submitted a second version with text by Oscar Wilde.Calla (Bog Arum, Marsh Calla, Wild Calla, and Water-arum) is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae, containing the single species Calla palustris. It is native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, in central, eastern and northern Europe (France and Norway eastward), northern Asia and northern North America (Alaska, Canada, and northeastern contiguous United States.t is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant growing in bogs and ponds.The fruit is a cluster of red berries, each berry containing several seeds.
The plant is very poisonous when fresh due to its high oxalic acid content, but the rhizome (like that of Caladium, Colocasia, and Arum) is edible after drying, grinding, leaching and boiling.
