Calla Lily – Sculptural Elegance and Architectural Design
At KvětinyExpres.cz, the Calla Lily (Zantedeschia) represents the pinnacle of modern minimalism. Originally from South Africa, this is more than just a flower; it is an architectural statement. Its smooth, trumpet-like spathe and sturdy, succulent stem make it one of the most sophisticated elements in our collection.
Appearance and Historical Context: What we perceive as the "bloom" is actually a colorful bract (spathe) wrapping around the central spadix. The lines of the Calla are so pure and fluid that it became an icon of the Art Deco movement in the 1920s. While the white Calla lily remains the ultimate classic, we also work with deep burgundy and "black" varieties for a more avant-garde look.
Symbolism of Purity and Rebirth: In the language of flowers, the white Calla represents purity, holiness, and rebirth. This makes it a timeless choice for wedding bouquets. Conversely, its association with deep respect and transition makes it a dignified choice for sympathy arrangements.
Florist Bára’s Tip (Design & Premium): "Calla is pure design for me. I love its graphic silhouette, which shines particularly in our luxury bouquets. One professional secret: Calla stems are very soft and prone to rotting if submerged too deep. Only fill your vase with about 5–8 cm of water. It's better to add fresh water daily than to drown the stems. With this care, they will stay pristine for over 10 days."
