Arum Lilies in my garden

Loving all the arums I've had lately. Remind me so much of my granny. She had arum lilies as well as a whole garden full of other wonderful flowers. She used to let me cut flowers to make arrangements in the house when we went to stay with her for school holidays. One day I made an arrangement of arum lilies. We got visitors and they were shocked to see the big flower arrangement. That's when I learned that some people consider them to be funeral flowers. But granny never let anything like that faze her. I decided to try some abstracts using depth of field to capture the wonderful curves on the flower. I'm not totally happy with what I've achieved so far, so will try and improve tomorrow morning if there is no wind. After a day of gardening today, there is too much wind this afternoon for any photography!
