calla lilies

Elegant white blooms

Calla lilies are ornamental plants with large, funnel-shaped flowers—actually a single petal-like bract wrapped around a central spike.

Despite the name, they're not true lilies.

Popular in gardens and floral arrangements, especially at weddings and funerals: The bride carried white calla lilies.

Native to southern Africa.
