Our calla plants are pretty tough but the one serious freeze we had this winter seems to have stunted their growth. Leaves and flowers have been healthy but about 1/3 - 1/2 normal size. Also the flowers always seem to soar above the greenery but this little shy guy stayed partially hidden. Taken today about five feet out my front door. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill, I like the spadix as a point of focus, and the way the spathe enters and leaves focus. The green OOF leaves are unfortunate.

Bill, beautiful “heart” and great use of foreground lines. I like this one.

Like the way this flower nestles in the leaves, Bill - very beautifully composed. Not sure if I might have liked a touch more dof, but an attractive image as is.
