Description
The calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), also commonly called an arum lily, is native to southern Africa. Their distinctive, elegant trumpet-like shape makes them attractive as indoor plants as well as for gardens. Additionally, the flowers, actually modified leaves or spathes, are long lasting so callas are popular in wedding bouquets and for other special occasions. The spikey yellow thing in the center is called a spadix. These blossoms were growing in a pot very near an orange stucco building; I changed the background color to pink to better complement the purples and blue-greens.
