Calla Lily
Zantedeschia
A single smooth, curling trumpet on a bare stem — the essence of understated modern elegance.
The calla lily is minimalism in flower form. Its blossom is actually one gracefully rolled bract that spirals to a point, carried on a clean, leafless stem with a sculptural curve. That simplicity is exactly why it reads so elegant, whether in a tall vase alone or gathered into a sleek bridal bouquet.
Large white callas feel formal and serene, while the smaller mini callas come in rich saturated colors — plum, mango, and near-black among them — for bolder work.
What Calla Lily means
Magnificent beauty and, in white, purity and faithfulness — a reason it appears at both weddings and memorials.
Care tips
Handle the smooth stems gently, as they bruise, and use shallow water to keep the cut ends from getting soft.
