close up of the calla lily. i didn't know it until rose sec'd this dq that calla lilies are very significant to her. they were on her son's coffin at his funeral 11 yrs ago. rose travels to texas every year at this time to decorate his grave with callas, both in memory of his death and his birthday which are days apart. she is such a strong and inspiring woman!
