Description
Inspired by William Blake's poem, "The Lilly," which goes
"The modest Rose puts forth a thorn:
The humble sheep, a threatening horn:
While the Lilly white, shall in Love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright."
~
Named after the Greek word "calla," meaning beauty, this flower is said to symbolize purity, which is why the Virgin Mary is so commonly depicted with it. It is also associated with rebirth, so it is fitting that this flower is a perennial.
