Calla Lily
One of the most popular and common exotics is the calla lily. These unusual blooms are a popular choice for weddings. They are often seen in ivory with green leaves, but mini callas can be found in almost any color of the rainbow. Calla lilies aren’t actually lilies, but more closely related to the philodendron. The waxy flowers bloom in a cup or trumpet shape with a yellow spadix rising from the center.
Over the centuries, these flowers have been highly prized and have taken on many meanings. Today they’re often used to symbolize purity, youth, faith, or rebirth. They are often associated with the Christian Easter service as a symbol of the resurrection. Calla lilies are traditionally the flower of the sixth wedding anniversary.
