Notes :
The Calla Lily is an African species that grows in the South of the continent. It was scientifically named after the Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi. The common name Calla comes from Ancient Greek kalòs (beautiful), and looking at the flowers it is easy to understand why that name. The leaves of Calla Lily are basal (they grow directly from the underground bulb), and are part of the charm of the plant. In the language of flowers, the Calla Lily stands for Beauty and Instability. Due to the slender, neat and curvy shape, Calla Lily had a big aesthetic success in the early 20th century, when it became the symbolic flower of the Liberty Style.
