Hi Marc,
Thank you for your help. I was hoping to find yellow and white in the same
species. I suppose they have these in hybrids, but I am mostly interested
in comparing the differences between two of the same species or at least the
same genetic background.
I am interested to know how to find the Z. aethiopica with the colored
spadix. Do you know anyone in the US that sells them?
Thank you very much.
BTW I also lived in New Jersey for 7 years in Highland Park, near New
Brunswick.
Aloha
Jon

Although I am no expert on Zantedeschia the only forms that I am aware of
for Z.aethiopica are white and a pale pink called 'Marshmallow'. There are
also two Dutch introductions 'Pink Mist' and 'Red Desire' which I know of
only from photos that are also varying shades of pink with a colored spadix.
I suspect that they are similar and not very different than 'Marshmallow'.
My plants of Z. odorata have a cream/white spathe - but i wouldn't call it
yellow.
I have never seen a true yellow Z.aethiopica and all the yellows come from
Z.elliottiana (recognizable by the black blotch in the throat) or hybrids
created through years of breeding. Calla breeding has come quite a ways with
flowers now available in the full spectrum - with some even having blue
tones visible in the flowers.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows of a yellow form of Z. aethiopia (calla lily).
I want a yellow and white form of the same species
Thank you very much
Jon
