I came upon these striking Calla lillies at the farmer's market this morning. There were both bright orange flowers and fuschia ones as well. Certainly, there are many flowers that are orange and many more that are fuschia (hence the name of the color, right?). However, Calla lillies don't come in those colors. White, yellow, lavender-purple but not flourescent fuschia and vibrant tangerine. No, these Callas were dyed. Still, they were striking enough to lure me into snapping a photo; at least until the shop keeper gave me the eye. You'd think they'd be happy to get a little free advertising but then these were dyed Callas after all so maybe not.
For you Mom's out there, both real and aspiring and perhaps even those of you who are mom-like to the rest of us, have a Happy Mother's Day! Admittedly, the rest of us shouldn't need a special day to remind us to tell you thank you for the years of unconditional love and caring, for the bandaged knees (and then some), for the chaffering around town, for putting up with the colds, mumps and measles and for just being there when we needed you. Thank you Mom.
