Well almost, it's an Amaryllis, but a damned fine shot of one anyway. I like the high contrast you have used. Interestingly, a Calla isn't really a Lily either. Maybe that's why @Brian Moore is having such difficulty finding one - despite the fact that they grow like weeds in California!

Fine florals, Martin. It's quite an art, shooting flowers. You seem to have it down.

Those things are ten-a-penny Pedro. I won't settle for anything that isn't special. I may have to go to Mexico to photograph their very special lily, the Blue Agave. (And test the tequila it produces!) Well,...it's related to the lily somehow...
