CALLA LILY FLOWER
CALLA LILY FLOWER The Calla Lily is a perennial bulb. Though called a lily, Calla Lilies are not really Lilies. Calla is a flowering genus of twenty-eight species originating in Africa and growing mostly in marshy areas. Calla Lilies are grown from bulbous roots with finger-like growths. Calla Lily flowers emerge in mid to late summer and last for weeks. You can choose from many colours, including classic white (a favourite for weddings), yellow, orange, pink, rose, lavender and dark maroon. In the garden or in a vase, Calla Lilies are elegant and always impressive. In many paintings and other works of art throughout history, the Calla Lily has been depicted with the Virgin Mary or Angel of Annunciation. For this reason, it has been associated with holiness, faith and purity. Additionally, as the cone-line flowers blossom in spring, they have become symbols of youth and rebirth .
