Lillies- Easter and Calla-Annual

Calla lillies -not to be confused with other lillies. Calla lillies have a flower which looks like a horn, as it is rolled up somewhat. The leaves a big, thick at the base, and speckled. These lillies come in a huge variety of colors. These types of lillies are best known at Easter time and need to be purchased at Easter time or shortly after then planted. This plant grows from a bulb and can be bought from garden centers in bulb form or plant form. I like yellow and pink flowers. The most popular seem to be off while flowers-Im not sure why.....

Easter lillies- not to be confused with Day lillies. Day lillies grow up from grass like stalks and these lillies grow up from one huge thick stalk. The leaves drow from the one thick stalk and are small compared to other lillies. These types of lillies are best known as Easter Lillies and need to be purchased at Easter time or shortly after then planted. The flower is much larger then a day lilly and much brighter and the stalk is very thick. This plant grows from a bulb and can be bought from garden centers in bulb form or plant form. My mother bought me my first lilly for Easter some years ago. I still have that one and many more. I like yellow and pink flowers. The most popular are the off while flowers.

BOTH Good: comes back on its own, spreads by producing more bulbs, transplants easily, Easter-has one stalk so it can fit almost anywhere

BOTH Bad: bulbs can be purchased year round but plants can only be bought at Easter time, no fragrance, once flowering is over plant will die back

BOTH Season: flowers from mid June - end of July
