For this challenge we had to create a page that had columns and rows with content in it, and I think I got it. I used one of the codes provided on one of our previous challenges as a guideline to get this one to look the way I wantted it, and I have to say it was harder than I thought.

This is my third try at this page and I started about a month ago, however I'm really pleased with the way it looks now. There are several tables within the code , so I could make the top lines show as well as the ones on the side.

The Main Image is from a tutorial that I did a couple of years ago when I first was learning how to use PSP and it is kindda floating on top of everything else ^_^ (I'm really proud to have been able to get that working).

The Flower itself a "Calla (Bog Arum), is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae, containing the single species Calla palustris. It is native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, in central, eastern and northern Europe (France and Norway eastward), northern Asia and northern North America (Alaska, Canada, northeastern contiguous United States).

It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant growing in bogs and ponds. The leaves are rounded to heart-shaped, 6-12 cm long on a 10-20 cm petiole, and 4-12 cm broad. The flowers are produced in a spadix comprising a white spathe 4-6 cm long, and a greenish-yellow inflorescence 3-4 cm long. The fruit is a cluster of red berries, each berry containing several seeds.

The plant is very poisonous when fresh due to its high oxalic acid content, but the rhizome is edible after drying, grinding, leaching and boiling.

The genus formerly also included a number of other species, which have now been transferred to the separate genus Zantedeschia. These plants, from tropical Africa, are however still often termed "calla lilies", but should not be confused with C. palustris."
