What's blooming in April? Calla Lilies


Calla Lilies.  Zantedeschia aethiopica.   This plant was put into the pond by Frank, from Paradise Now Ponds.  This plant loves its roots in the water. 

We have some others that all started out in a 4" pot in our first tiny pond.  The lily lived there for several years.  Then I planted it in the ground.  Suffice it to say it was happy to spread out its roots!  That one grows about 4 to 5 feet tall and every flower has a green tip.  It has spread and replanted itself all over. It has made the dogs sick when they chew it.   

This smaller one seems to be staying in its place, the pond. As long as it stays where it was put it can stay.  Its larger cousins are on my hit list.
