Super Cool Leaves

My mom tells me (and this is where I get most of my information on flowers and plants and many, many other things) this is called a Money Plant (or something like that, I'm not sure I actually remember anymore). Apparently this is actually kind of ugly when it's actually alive. But people grow it so that the leaves dry out and turn into this. And who can blame them when they end up looking this cool right?

Still a little weird to grow something to just so it can die. That's usually the part I try to (and fail miserably at, by the way) avoid. But what do I know? I can't even remember the name of the plant.

Trumpety

Have I mentioned I love Calla Lilies? I do. A lot.

I know, death flowers right?

I don't care, they're awesome.

I love the color on this one. That purple gets so dark it looks black. absolutely amazing.

And at this point I don't even need to talk about the transition from stem to petal there do I? It's freaking awesome right? The color contrast between the green and purple is just gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.
