Description
Watercolour of white Arum Lillies growing in my garden.
The perennial Zantedeschia falls into two main types: hardier outdoor forms, called Arum lilies, with striking white flowers; and the more tender form the Calla lily comes in many more colours - yellow, orange, pink or dark purple.
In many paintings and other works of art throughout history, the calla lily has been depicted with the Virgin Mary or Angel of Annunciation. For this reason, it has been associated with holiness, faith and purity.
The Calla and Arum lily have also been associated with Venus in Roman mythology. Venus saw the flower and felt her beauty was threatened by its pure white blossom so she cursed it with an unsightly pistil.
