It is no secret that I am a fan of callas. Aside from being lovely, deer won’t eat ’em. This is a flame calla. All of those are one kind. They’ve been spreading so there are multiple bulbs. But, each flower makes all of those colors.

They go from this bright yellow

all the way through orange and red to black before they quit.

I have some others, pink, red and a funky little pygmy I got last year.

I didn’t expect it to bloom the first year I planted the bulbs. So, I was especially delighted when it did. I was drawn to it by the variagated leaves and the great color sealed the deal. I didn’t know how very small they would be. They’re absolutely Lilliputian.

This one got me with its foliage, too.

They have a thin, red edge, similar to the ‘Picotee’ amaryllis blossoms. And it’s a standard size.
