Description
A beautiful Lily shaped like a heart captured with a macro lens and a shallow depth of field. I then used a texture and painterly effects to give the photo the look of a painting. I think these colors all work well with one another and would add to any room in your home, office or even a waiting room.
It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant, evergreen where rainfall and temperatures are adequate, deciduous where there is a dry season. Its preferred habitat is in streams and ponds or on the banks. It grows to 0.6�1 m (2.0�3.3 ft) tall, with large clumps of broad, arrow shaped dark green leaves up to 45 cm (18 in) long. The inflorescences are large and are produced in spring, summer and autumn, with a pure white spathe up to 25 cm (9.8 in) and a yellow spadix up to 90 mm (3 1/2 in) long. The spadix produces a faint, sweet fragrance.
In order to introduce colours to the large white calla lilies, like the many colours available in the dwarf summer calla lilies, attempts have been made to hybridise Z. aethiopica with Z. elliotiana. These have resulted in albino progeny, which are non-viable.[citation needed]
It has become an important symbol of Irish republicanism and nationalism since 1926 to commemorate the fallen of Easter 1916 and onwards.[citation needed]
It is the national flower of the island nation of Saint Helena,[10] where it grows widely.
The cultivar 'Green Goddess' is listed on the New Zealand National Pest Plant Accord preventing its sale, cultivation and distribution.
