Calla Lily with dark foliage and flowers


SEVA

Recommended Posts

This might not be anything new, but I've never seen a calla lily like this one before.  Thought it was worth sharing.  This one had the darkest foliage and covered the entire plant.  Most of the ones I saw had the same dark flowers, but with green foliage. A few had darker areas on the foliage, but were mostly green.

Wow. This is one to be enjoyed up close so as not to miss that rich purple color. It's a new one to me!

Me as well. Couldn't find an exact match when looking over the net either.. Have seen black, darkest red/ purple flowered Callas, or Canna varieties w/ dark leaves, but not one or the other with both dark leaves / flowers. Wil be interesting to see how it grows.. if the leaves stay dark, or turn more green as they mature. 

About as unique as Tacca chantrieri ( Black Bat Flower ) or some of the naturally solid Black colored Orchids, particularly many varieties within a 3 way intergenetic cross in the Catasetum Alliance called Fredclarkeara... Many have such hybrid names as "After Dark",  " Black.. Cherry,  Pearl, "etc..
