Chic, charming and always in style, calla lilies are the perfect flower for the classy lady in your life. Be it a birthday, anniversary, thank you or yoo-hoo sort of occasion, these elegant blooms have panache and character that make them stand out from the rest of the bunch. When you just can’t seem to think of a good gift, the gift of flowers is always one she’ll be sure to use.
Native to parts of southern Africa, the calla lily is known for its single, iconic petal that swirls around a central axis. This type of flower is called a spadix and is similar to the one on a peace lily, with which it shares a family. With only a handful of different species, all in the genus Zantedeschia, all of them have showy flowers that come in a range of colors from white to yellow, purple or shades of red and orange. While found growing originally in only a small geographical region, the alluring beauty of the calla lily has lead to it being cultivated on every continent on Earth except Antarctica.
Prized for both their pretty petals as well as their fabulous foliage, calla lilies are popular garden plants in warm, tropical climates, but most of us will have to enjoy them with a little help from our florist as a cut flower. Cultivated extensively in California, Colombia, Kenya and New Zealand, plant breeders have been introducing a variety of new colors and sizes, so try out a little something different with new non-white cultivars. Smaller in size, but full of color, the cultivar “Red Mango” or “Pot of Gold” come in red and gold and look amazing in a bouquet or arrangement mixed with torch gingers or dendrobium orchids. Sultry colors, such as the deep purple “Night Cap” or fabulous fuchsia one, “Pillow Talk,” go well with orange roses or red hypericum berries. Try paring a medium or large one of any color with the exotic bird of paradise for a tropical, but simple look or all white with a bit of silvery dusty miller or seeded eucalyptus for an elegant occasion.
With bare stems without any distracting leaves, let calla lilies strut their stuff without any distracting greens. One of the best ways to show off this very feminine flower is in a clear glass vase with several different shades of just calla lilies. This flower doesn’t like to share the spotlight.
Pothos– Sometimes called Devil’s Ivy or Golden Pothos, this shade tolerant, vining plant with heart-shaped leaves makes a great addition to a dish garden because of its trailing nature. Over time it will cascade down the side of the container or can be trained up a string to grow up a wall.
Arrowhead– A popular houseplant with tall, upright leaf stems and arrowhead shaped leaves, many cultivars of this plant exist. Some have colorful stripes or colors along the margins of the leaves and look great next to pothos in a container. You can plant them together or simply put one small plastic pot of each in a basket and top with some sphagnum moss (available at a garden center or craft store) for decoration. 
Hoya– A fun, climbing vine, this plant loves a lot of light, but needs very little water or care in case your coworker has a perpetually full inbox. Give it a bright window and something to climb over like the handle of a decorative basket where you can add some colorful Croton plants or Dracenea. If you are lucky, you may get to see it blooming one day with large, pink clusters.
Jade Plant– This succulent plant has round, fleshy leaves on stems that bend and turn over time to create a classic form. Placed in a sunny window, this plant will thrive with very little care and last them though retirement.
