Some view the calla lily positively, as used in weddings, others view it negatively, associating it with death. I think of the calla lily differently, as a natural beauty, part of the many beautiful things to be seen in nature.

Matter of fact, flowers brighten our day and bring good cheer. We use them to decorate our house, our garden, our landscape. Just think how much a display of flowers can beautify the cold concrete of a city, if the residents just add flowers to the scene. Yet flowers decorate the natural world without us even lending a hand. No wonder the natural beauty of parks and wilderness areas, beaches, lush valleys and all the other varied features of the earth draw us away when we need refreshment.
