White symbolizes cleanliness, rectitude and virginity. Thus, calla lily symbolizes brilliance of truth and holiness. Calla lilies are also a symbol of elegance and sophistication. They are the traditional symbols of marriage. They also mark the 6th wedding anniversary. The classic white calla lily meaning stands for purity of thought and the eloquence of heavenly bliss. Thus, they are chosen at weddings as they might bring up the same qualities in the newly weds of faith and devotion. At the funerals, calla lilies are a symbol of sympathy and purity that is restored to the departed soul.

Captured this lovely Calla Lily at the gardens of the Carmel Mission in Carmel, CA., while photographing the mission and grounds. The shape, cleanness, and surrounding leaves pulled me to the image. Finished in LRCC and ON1...
I've never seen a calla lily like this before I bought an armful at the Philadelphia FLower Show last week; they're miniature, but the most unique thing about them is their color--white and purple, a combination I've seen a million times in pansies, but never in calla lilies.
One of two images--I recently yielded to temptation & bought a potted yellow Calla Lily. I have loved them ever since I first saw one & finally decided that I "needed" to buy! I noted that the soil in the pot was quite dry, so I employed my usual plant owner technique & soaked it! I understand that this is not always the best method, but I am not very good with plants. Anyway, the next day, I noticed water drops around the pot & realized that my plant had rebelled by rejecting some of the water I had given it! It seems that Calla Lily react to excess watering by guttating! Good to know! Check out this article! It even specifically mentions Calla Lilies!

I have gotten much good information from that site!
I had seen this phenomenon once in the past on Jewelweed. So pretty! It was a friend on flickr who told me what it was! www.flickr.com/photos/mudder_bbc/2759929154/
