I like the composition and the geometry. Not so sure about the inner white matting effect, particularly over the green at the bottom.

I understand that waiting! I really like the study of form here, with sweeping curves and green-yellow-white coloration. I like the delicate texture as well. A small nit: the translucent matte doesn't particularly add anything, IMO.

Very elegant, Ian. I like the white on white which puts the emphasis on the lines and form of the iris.

Excellent comp. I like the lines and the shades of green with the white. Very nice, Ian!

Very graceful curves, good handling of the whites and pleasing background. Elegant take on a calla.

An High-Key of a white calla is not easy but you did it. Congrats for the WP Ian.
