In one of my childhood homes we had a forgotten corner of the yard where calla lilies ran wild. Nobody tended them and they thanked us for respecting their privacy by producing amazing blooms. I wish I had that small "field" these days. I'm lucky, as I've said before, if I get three at a time...so I buy them. But I digress...
I was late getting to Trader Joe's one day and had a choice of white, white or white flowers. I opted for white flowers.
This grouping is perfect for a dinner party as the flowers are low enough to talk over and yet they have the impact of a larger, much more dramatic arrangement. All there are here are gerbera daisies and mini-calla lilies with a few calla leaves added in. I snipped some clivia leaves and wrapped the inside of the fishbowl vases before adding water and placing the flowers.
A tip about gerberas. Try not to touch the stem close to the flower heads as it causes them to weaken and droop. I'm sure you've experienced that disappointment.
