in the landlord’s garden

On my way home from work, I decided to detour through the landlord’s garden. I was a bit cautious because I know there’s a rat that calls the garden home. On occasion I’ve seen a rabbit nibbling at the greens. And there’s a neighbor’s cat that likes to nestle in the lavender. She must smell quite lovely when she returns home.
“it walked out of the forest into moonlight, veiled in white …”

It was the beauty of the artwork on the covers of fantasy and sci-fi novels that used to draw my attention in bookstores. So many of the illustrations depicted a cloaked figure, partially illuminated. And then there’s my growing interest in stained glass windows. The figures in them, whether peasant or angel, wear luminous robes in a rainbow of colors. With such inspirations in my life, how could I not see a cloaked figure as I zoomed in on this orchid?
a bit of pink and gold … in nature

Today the calla lily looks like this.
And just a few days ago it looked like this …
How cool is that? 😉

I’m not sure when or where I purchased the bulb. In early spring, I was buying stuff to plant at every venue, from fancy nurseries to the Dollar Store. I remember that I found the bulb one day in the bottom of a crumpled bag. It’s label was gone. I still planted it by itself in an orange clay pot. Nothing happened for the longest time. I had to practice my patience skills big time. Then one day, green shoots appeared. A lovely dark green. An amaryllis perhaps? But then the leaves unfurled revealing white spots, providing me with just enough information for some internet research. As the leaves grew tall and spread wide, I kept wondering when the heck would the flower appear. And then one day it did.
It has been fun to photograph, and hard. There are things I see with my eyes that I have yet to capture exactly as I wish with the camera. Variations in color and texture, all of which continue to evolve as the plant grows.
That forgotten bulb at the bottom of a bag has turned into a very lovely learning experience.
like floating in darkness
