Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude

Midnight Lily

Posted on June 17, 2021 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

This Odessa Calla Lily (Zantedeschia rehmannii violacea) is dark as a moonless night. In shade, the deep purple bloom is nearly black. Today, sunshine illuminates the royal purple curve of the petals. It’s one of my favorite flowers, especially since it thrives in the hot summer sun of rain-deprived SoCal.
