Calla Lily, Arum Lily
Native to South Africa, Zantedeschia lilies have become popular garden or household plants. Mainly grown for their magnificent, chalice-shaped flowers (spathe) surrounding a yellow finger-like stalk (spadix), and their arrow-shaped, spotted leaves, they are not true lilies but are arum (Jack-in-the-pulpit) family members. Whether used in borders, containers, or as cut flowers, they always provide a spectacular effect with their rich, cheerful colors.
