This is a really neat photo that my wife took yesterday and sent to me. It's a giant calla lily growing in my yard. The leaves are so lush and striated and tropical! The giant callas really love my area of Louisiana and perform like champs. Mine are growing in almost complete shade and still going strong putting out lots of blooms. Just plunk them in the ground and give them plenty of water, unless you live north of zone 8. If you live north of zone 8, do the same in a large pot. This plant comes back well for me after freezes, but I don't think it can take the ground freezing.

I love callas, I have never tried growing them. I didn't think they would do well in our zone...but you proved that wrong
that is really pretty!
Dave, are calla flowers your greates love after roses, or before roses? I wonder which is it.
Roses are definitely my favorite. Though I like callas, I doubt they would make my top 5 list.
what is your top 5 list then?
