Question about Naked Ladies

Thanks you, Bracey.

I just looked out my window into my greenhouse, and there was another fine
example of a common name: a "Calla Lily" is in bloom. That is, a
Zantedeschia hybrid, looking mostly like Z. aethiopica, is in bloom at this
odd time of year. It is neither a Calla nor a Lily. Calla is a genus
including the rare Calla palustris, an endangered species from Tamarack
bogs in Northern Indiana. Zantedeschia, like C. palustris, is in the Arum
Family, but Zantedeschia is native to Southern Africa.
