CALLA LILY or ZANTEDESCHIA
Commonly known as the beautifully elegant Calla Lily, it's botantical name is Zantedeschia, pronounced zanter-DESK-ya or zanter-DEE-sha. It is also known as arum lilies which are much easier to say! Calla was the old Victorian name for them before they were renamed Zantedeschia.
They available all year round in shades of pinks, pale creams, and flesh tones, purple-black, yellow and terracotta oranges, and very popular as wedding flowers.
White arums are very popular with style gurus for their sculptural elegant shape. Their richly coloured relatives are becoming better known, they have smaller, more elegant flower shape and lend themselves more easily to mixing with other flowers.
They last around two weeks. The petals are fleshy and very easily bruised, take care when transporting or arranging them.
