These are my calla lilies, which are growing on the north side of my house, in my back yard. They have finished blooming, but I thought the way the leaves were standing up like soldiers was interesting. Even though they are on the north side of the house, they still get a little too much sun in the afternoon, as you can see by the yellow edges on some of the leaves. Calla lilies are native to South Africa (where they are called "pig lilies"); and have a symbolic meaning that's associated with "magnificent beauty". Calla lilies come in several colors, each one beautiful!
