This weeks flower will be the Lily, starting with the Arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) photographed in Perth, Western Australia by Georgie.
Arum lilies, originally from Southern Africa are popular garden plants, and commonly used in floristry. Unfortunately these plants are toxic to humans and animals if ingested, and have been declared an environmental weed in many parts of Australia.
Keep cats away from all lilies, as cats are particularly susceptible to lily poisoning - even ingesting tiny amounts of pollen can be fatal.
