Calla Lily in the Morning

Always the anticipated arrival in the garden beds.  The unfurling of this luscious white beauty is a spectacle to behold.

The calla lilies at the front of the house are in bloom. Watching them in their various steps as they unfurl their bloom is interesting.

Calla Lilies in Abundance

One last photo from last weekend. Needless to say, I was amazed by the glorious floral displays within one hotel. I thought these calla lilies were fantastic. I love the effect of the "tied" bouquet. I first saw this technique when our family lived in England in the mid-ninties.

While at the hotel, a bride and groom entered. They had the perfect backdrop of photos in front of this entry floral arrangement.

White Calla Lily Ready to Unfurl

Going away on vacation has two benefits. First, you have the fun of the vacation. Second, when you come home, your garden has all kinds of surprises for you. I returned from vacation to find my calla lilies beginning to bloom in the front flower bed. This photo shows the bloom is just beginning to unfurl.

My plants stay in the ground year round and are quite happy in their location. To my pleasant surprise, they have propagated on their own by seed.
