Calla lilies were first imported from South Africa to the Americas in the mid-nineteenth century.
The waxy white blooms and spear-headed leaves of the cally lily began to appeal to American artists shortly after its importation. In the early twentieth century, the cally lily began to enjoy a heightened popularity especially in the 1920's and 1930's when it became a darling subject of painters and photographers.
Thus, the white blooms and spear-headed leaves of the calla lily became a symbol of radiant beauty and sophistication.
