Calla Lily and Arum Lily


Originating in southern Africa the Calla and Arum Lilly, look very similar. They both have long tubular hollow stems uncurling into a unique trumpet shaped bloom. The main differences between Calla and Arum Lilies are their size and colour availability. Arum tend to be larger, floppier and mainly white and green, whereas Calla Lilies are smaller, more elegant and have more variety of colours e.g. deep aubergine, mango, yellow, white, green and pink with new varieties being released regularly due to popularity.
The Calla or Arum Lilies are an ideal choice for dramatic and contemporary bridal bouquets, the glossy texture and visual interest add a great impact with sophisticated slender gowns.

 They make perfect fillers amongst other complementary flowers. Combined with similar tones for a showcase of vibrant colour or a single arrangement of white Lilies tied with a classic ribbon, this flower can be as simple or versatile as you wish.

  1. Pleased to know about this information on lilies. Last month, I arranged a dinner party with my friends at one of amazing venues. Decorated venue with help of a florist that we got to know through a renowned Florist Delivery service online. Everyone liked these arrangements.
