Calla Lilies in Bloom

The Calla Lilies are in full bloom. Mock Orange and white rugosas are perfuming the yard. After a rain it is particularly fragrant around here. These Calla Lilies seem to thrive in moist, rich soil and full sun. They almost look like a sculpture, inspiration for a glass blower.

I have a calla lilly that the blooms are laying over like they are wilting. I have never had one before. Is this a sign of to much water, not enough or not enough sun or something. HELP!

This Calla Lilly is so pretty.You did a great job for a dieing plant. I can't get over how good it looks now. You do have a green thumb when reviving plants.

I actually got a small calla lily plant last summer at a nearby family nursery..the lady sold it to me for 50cents b/c it was near dead.. the 2 lone leaves were brown & it looked pretty hopeless.. I took the chance & put it in the ground where it didn't look like much & even my hubby almost pulled it thinking it was a weed!! Then here we are in the spring & its magically re appeared it's now about 20 or more leaves & 6 blooms!! It's HUGE!!!! I am soo amazed!! All I did was put it in the ground w/some plain old soil!!! I love it!! I agree..very exotic.. which I love since we are going for a tropical look in our yard so it's great!!
