This was the original plant that I had in my pond but as you can appreciate it grew to large. I split it in to several plants and gave my friends and treesandthings some. I have 3 in my back garden now one of them is almost as big as this one and the other has just popped up. This one is in a slightly boggy area whereas the other 2 are in dry soil, they are all in full sun.

That looks so creamy, I could put it in my coffee, or on a scone.
Or both.
Yum.

I shall have to take this one into the greenhouse for the winter - it wouldn't survive outside!

I had two last year. No sign of them this year, so either it was too dry or too cold.

Calla Lilies need to be planted deeply for their size. Plant them at a depth of 4 inches, spacing each bulb 12 inches apart. In cooler zones, start bulbs indoors in late winter and transplant them in the spring when danger of frost has passed. Apply a bulb fertilizer monthly during the active growing season. Calla Lillies can also be grown as house plants if placed in a sunny window. Most Calla Lilies need a rest period after flowering, so gradually withhold water until the leaves die back and let plants rest for 2 to 3 months before resuming watering to encourage new growth.
