"The Calla Lilies are in bloom !"

Common Calla Lily in the rain

"The Calla Lilies are in bloom." Wasn't that a Katharine Hepburn line?
It's an early word assocation of mine that I had with this flower.
Anything Katharine Hepburn said, did or wore was class.
I don't know why these beautiful creatures are refered to as common.
To me they are anything but common, other than they are easy to grow and always come back.

I have a good size patch right next to the fish pond. It's been there for a few years.

Cut Calla Lilies look great in a black vase; just as great as Kate looked in a little black dress.
