Calla Liles - Elegant Flowers

Calla lilies are very elegant flowers that are used for celebrating a special bond as well as celebrating someone's life.  On one hand, it's used in weddings as a sign of purity and on the other hand, it resembles resurrection and often planted in the graves.  Some say they are a symbol of magnificent beauty and innocense.

The name of the calla lily is somehow inaccurate as the flower is neither a calla, nor a lily.  The calla lily is scientifically called zantedschia.  The flower originates in south Africa.

To make your calla lilies last, keep them in a cool place and away from direct sunlight or any kind of heat. Change their water every two days and if you see that they are drying out, cut their stems from the bottom under running water. 

Also, remember that the calla lilies are poisonous flowers, so keep them away from children or pets.
