I wanted to capture the “waviness” of the edge of this flower and I got what I wanted … along with a peek at the bottom of what lies within. Very pleased with this SOOC shot! I’m also pleased that I was able to get to this plant with my camera before the Japanese beetles got to it for “dinner”!

Zantedeschia aethiopica cultivar, “White Giant” (family Araceae).

That's beautiful. I especially like the surprise at the bottom.

Very nice lines and love the peek of the 'thing" in the center. My Peace lily never blooms. Do not know why!

@espyetta I think this is a Zantedeschia (genus), but I'm going to hit up "my guy" for as-specific-an-ID as is possible!

@danette Thanks, Danette! I wish the blotch of purple inside were more-purple, but I preferred to leave it SOOC rather than distort colors.

Awesome

Very well done Thom. Keep this up and you will be well on your way to being hooked.

Elegance and innocent whimsy . A lovely,lovely shot

Brilliant image Thom. Lovely clear detail.

Definitely a Zantedeschia. Possibly Zantedeschia aethiopica, the Arum lily, but I'm not certain, as it looks more delicate than mine.
