some random information on the CALLA LILY:

Exquisitely beautiful and delicate, the Calla lilies will find a home in any Florida garden. It is a native of South America and belongs to the Araceae family. The word Calla comes from Greek and it means 'beautiful'. Although Calla is known as the 'Calla Lily', this plant does not belong to the family of the lilies. The flower is cultivated at home and in greenhouses for its beautiful, colorful blossoms. The flower is actually a solitary and showy funnel shaped spathe that looks as if it is in the process of unfurling. The Spadix rises out from the middle of the Spathe and is covered by tiny flowers.
This plant was imported from South Africa to America in the middle of the nineteenth century. The Calla lily is popularly known as the trumpet lily reminding one of the Archangel Gabriel and his trumpet. The Callas originally appeared in white color only, but due to their immense popularity, various hybrids have given rise to flowers in various hues and even multicolored blossoms are seen now.
The Callas plant grows very fast, and is a very hardy plant. But it does not tolerate salt water at all.. The plant grows well if it is exposed to lots of sunlight. A lightly shaded area is also suitable. Calla lilies are usually very resistant and can tolerate most pests and diseases. They do not need frequent pesticides. The plants become dormant during the winter season, and at this time, the leaves may die and fall off. Otherwise the leaves a rich green and grow up to 1.5 inches long. The foliage of the plant is easily damaged by frost. But the plant recovers very quickly.
