This yellow calla lily glows against a dark background in this macro shot. If there was a regal flower, to me that would be embodied by a Calla Lily. I think they are best captured with a macro lens that focuses on their sweeping shapes and blurring other parts of the composition to get that buttery bokeh effect.
