calla
Elegant white spathe
Calla is a plant genus known for its distinctive funnel-shaped flowers, most famously the calla lily—though true calla lilies belong to a related genus, Zantedeschia.
The flowers have a single petal-like spathe wrapped around a central spike: White callas filled the wedding arrangements.
Native to wetlands, they're popular in gardens and floristry.
