The Calla Lily, by Albert E.S. Smythe When the lofty peerless lily, Silver-browed and chastely chilly, Hides the dream on which she museth What a world the poet loseth!  Lady of Lilies Witch Hat She is queenly on her stem, |
Though she wear no diadem, And she knows she is a queen, Self-contained, self-ruled, serene; No supremacy requiring, No predominance desiring, |
Owning such estate of beauty Reverence becomes a duty. Thus there dwells the stainless form Even fancy fails to warm With the dainty blossom-hues |
Morning freshens with her dews.  photographs courtesy of Peter Ferioli |

So charming, this one!
ok, I admit I am a dirty-minded wench and can't look at flowers without snickering-- it's still a very pretty hat!
Your hats are just SO gorgeous! The lilies are beautiful. :) Theresa
Awesome hat and pretty words! And I can't help but stare at the flower photo ... *dusts off mind*
You've fabulously translated nature into fabric! Beautiful work.
Calla lilies grew abundantly in my Mother's yard growing up...and she always said she loved that the only flower she could grow with ease was one known for the dead....
That hat is gorgeous, Dear Friend!
This is just gorgeous!
Wow, what an amazing creation! As for the lilies, I have them growing like weeds in my garden...they were from my mum and dad's garden, so they are extra special...Happy Halloween my friend x
