Some of the large Yellow Callas are:
Florex Gold/aka Millenium Gold/ aka Hybrid Yellow. All tall with large cup
size.

Kapiteyn has also bred several yellow varieties, they have large cup size and
are shorter (I believe they are bred to be pot Callas).
They are called:
Captain Sonora
Pot of Gold
Serrada

There are hundreds of hybrids, I'm in the process of working on a database, I
started one here
http://cubits.org/callalilies/db/…
but I want to move it to it's own website.

There are a few colored Aethiopica varieties, the pink ones are called
Marshmallow, Deep Throat, Glow, Kiwi Blush, and Pink Mist.
At one time Golden State Bulb had a photo of an Aethiopica that was slightly
purple, I think they called it "Diva".

Thank you John very much for your comment about yellow callas.
I wonder if you might enlighten me on the large yellow callas. What might
their varietal names be?

I would be interested in other species if there were white and yellow
versions. I am interested in hybrids if they had the same or similar
lineage.

Thank you for the interesting story of the many colors you have.

It even sounds pretty.

Aloha

My aunt in Ohio, z5, loves callas. Every year I get a few for the patio or
garden. I've had more cultivars than I can remember. The ones that I can
remember are Giant Spotted (from Plant Delights), Zwartzwalder, Black
Star and
Flame (from Brent and Becky's) and many a mix of other colors from local
retailers. They have nearly all survived the winters in the open ground 10'
to
30' from the house. They bloom reliably each year.

A couple have gone so far as to reseed. I took a photo if anyone is
interested.
There are a few varieties that have disappeared over time but I don't
remember
what they are as I am not there to see all of them in bloom to know their
colors. I only know a few key placements and ones that still have labels
(that
the family kids have pulled out).

I am pretty sure that the lighter purples are not there.
As far as a yellow variety of Z. aethiopica and am not sure. There are some
really large yellow callas that are the same size of aethiopica but I do
believe they are a hybrid.
