The Calla Lily

 


Ahhh...Calla Lilies aren't they beautiful? Native to South Africa and very easy to grow are commonly white but can be found in pretty colors as shown above. The white is used in weddings to signify purity of the union. The word Calla means beautiful, rebirth and union. Calla lilies are associated with Mother Mary and it symbolizes her purity and virginity. Again, it is seen on Easter to symbolize resurrection. These beautiful lilies are known to bloom in the Springtime!
