The calla lily is one of the most elegant flowers in existence. Its name itself leaves no doubt: it derives from the Greek “kalós,” meaning beautiful, making it a symbol of pure and delicate beauty. Calla lilies are also known as Arum lilies. They originate from South Africa, although today their cultivation has been naturalized in warm-climate regions such as Southern Europe, Latin America, and even Australia.

The most common meanings of the calla lily are purity, perfection, elegance, and eternal life.

In general, giving a calla lily expresses affection for the recipient. Depending on its color, it can also convey different emotions: pure love if white, passionate love and femininity if pink, or eternity if black or purple.
