Learning To Appreciate Calla Lily's Beauty
Out of all plants that I do have in my garden, the calla lilies I think are far the most extraordinary plant. Although they are not considered to be true lilies, this beautiful plant is available in a multitude of colors, grows from rhizomes and is ideal for use in beds and borders. One can also grow calla lilies in containers indoors or you could plant it outdoors either in garden beds or window boxes. Planting your calla lilies from seed may take a long time plus these seeds do not have a high germination rate. It is ideal to start from tubers or rhizomes. Proper planting and location are about the only important things to consider when growing calla lilies. They also require to be planted in loose, well-drained soil. Also consider placing them in full sun or partial shade in warmer climates.
Calla lily flowers are also called trumpet lilies or Lily of the Nile. Most often, they do have a waxy-white flowers that gracefully twist and curl, ending in a delicate point. The most popular color of calla lily is the color white, but they do come in varieties of colors. They come in orange, red, dark green and pink heart-shaped foliage which can also be variegated with white spots. The very first calla lily plant that we had was a white one. Then, later on, one of our friend gave us a calla lily with brilliant blend of pink and purple colors that compliments its pink damask container. I personally think that the pink calla lily can go with any occasion, simply because its elegant blossom sends the right message.
Always remember that choosing the right plant for your garden and for the type of soil that you have at home is the first step in attaining a successful and beautiful garden. The maintenance of these flowering plants comes next. Gardening is such a nice hobby that everyone from different age level can enjoy.

Flowers Are Great Decoration At Home
Most women in this world that we are living in would definitely like to receive a flower once in a while coming from the person they love. Flowers represent particularly love and adoration for a person, that is why women likes them especially paired with chocolates. Roses is always the number one pick for flowers too be given, but there are a lot of varieties of flowers that we can always choose like orchids, chrysanthemums, calla lilies, peony, tulips and and many more. But for me I would rather receive a potted calla lily plant than bouquets because in that way you could preserve and take good care of the plant that was given to you. Bouquets are very good flower arrangement by florist and they cost a lot but after a day or two their beauty will definitely wither and die.
Out of the many flowers, calla lily is the best plant grown indoors because it can adopt to it's environment perfectly. May it be indoors or outdoors calla lilies bring deep green foliage and creamy, rounded flowers to every corner of your home and garden as well. They are very easy to grow as long it is grown under the full sun all day and these lilies will definitely thank you. Checking the soil around the plant once weekly and making sure that it has the right amount of water will help your lilies thrive. If the lilies are grown indoors or in a container you could fill the drainage dish with rocks to help the soil absorb too much water. Calla lily in pink damask container is the first plant that I received for this year, it was given to me as a gift from a family friend.
Calla lilies can be found not only in pink, but also in white which is the most popular one, also in orange, fuchsia, red, yellow and cream. These long lasting flowers are very popular in wedding bouquets where they are a symbol of purity and beauty.
