White calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica)! We all know them for their cut flowers, but did you realize they are also a perennial in most of the South? I’ll be honest, I haven’t found many of them growing in abandoned pastures; abandoned pastures seem to be the home for the daffodils and some of their other friends. No, I’ve seen calla lilies growing in the old established gardens of the south that are still taken care of. Why? Normally it is because calla lilies need more water than just the natural rainfall they might receive in a field.

How much water? A lot. Calla lilies are traditionally grown completely submerged in the water. A typical technique is to pot a very rocky soil mixture together in a pot, and sink the pot completely under the water in a fish pond or other decorative pool of water. However, they don’t have to be completely submerged. A regular irrigation system will take care of them. They like it a little more shady and damp, so just remember that when placing them in the garden.

Here at the Southern Bulb Company farm, we’re going to put them with our white rain lilies (Zephyranthes candida) and our native white spider lilies (Hymenocallis liriosme) in the thick clays at the edge of our pond. This will accomplish a couple of things. First, it will keep them in the moist soils they need to thrive. Second, the water helps keep the soil temperatures above freezing, and calla lilies can be sensitive to freezing. Our farm is located in northeast Texas, almost a Zone 7, and I would not recommend trying this bulb north of here.

What about the history of the bulb? While I would like to offer a great pass-a-long story like so many of our other bulbs have, all I can speak to is the wonderful old places I’ve seen them grow. Many of our old world bulbs like the little jonquil sweeties, old fashioned daffodils, Byzantine gladioli, and more came from Mediterranean places such as the south of Spain. Calla lilies come to us from South Africa, not a hot bed of early American immigration. From there though, they were eventually brought to Europe and the United States. Dr. Bill Welch had them in his old home near Monroe, LA for generations and now has them growing in a decorative galvanized feeding trough near Brenham, TX (the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream). I’ve also seen them all over the Island of Jersey, particularly in the fabulous garden of Mrs. Lea where her pond leads up to her famous trompe l’oeil, which I wrote about on the Bulb Hunter Blog here: http://www.bulbhunter.com/2007/07/12/the-isle-of-jersey/.

That should be enough description to get you going. We hope you enjoy and are anxious to put these bulbs into your hands! Don’t worry, they’re quick to multiply!

Worst Experience of my Life
My Epson printer had problems with it's software in early mid April, while trying to resolve the software glitch which I could not, I found that every picture I had scanned for some time had lines running through it and no cleaning process or other process that Epson had would get rid of it, and everything I had scanned for my project, was ruined. I sent the machine to Asurion following their instructions and explaining the issues. They sent it back to me after a month saying they had double checked and fixed everything, I spent some time setting it all back up, only to find that exactly the same two issues were still present and the machine was unusable. I sent in a second request, this time they sent it back to me a month later saying they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Hooked it up again, same problem. I complained numerous times asked for them to warranty the item; they would not unless I sent it back to them and they kept it and then they would give me a credit on my amazon account to buy a new one. I packed it up and drove to UPS a third time and mailed it back to them, after about three weeks they sent me a note that they had it and that they were sending it back to me as they couldn't find anything wrong. Three times I ha filled out their entire sheet with product, date of purchase, problems detailed, receipts, picture of the lines in the photos that it was making over all the scanned photos. Then after two weeks of back and forth they sent me a message telling me they couldn't warranty it until I filled all this information out again on line. Then they told me they couldn't read the tiny print off the receipt printed off the Amazon site, which I cannot change. I then blew up the receipts and circled everything and sent it back to them again...of course they already had now five copies of this same information, they had paid for postage three times to NY and back to fix it and they still aren't able to process a payment to me????? Finally I get a call from a gentleman telling me that I will have a credit to my Amazon Card in 72 hours. Great. Then he calls me back the next day and says the warranty team has decided they would not warranty the item and credit me but they will mail me a check in 7 to 10 days. After over four months of this I received a check...will it bounce? I don't know yet. My project that I was working on was for my mother's Celebration of Life, I could not do what I wanted to do for her, this caused me emotional pain, as well as the obvious frustration of four months of aggravation and complete and total ineptitude on their part.

Asurion Protection is worth it
After 3 years monitor had power issues. Asurion was unable to repair the monitor and provided a full refund with an Amazon Gift Card. Support was excellent and process was quick and easy.

Quick and Fantastic Service!
I include the additional protection for all of my high dollar purchases. This was the first time I have ever had to use it. I had an extension to provide additional screens to my laptop. Unfortunately, it developed an issue. Submitting a claim was easy and straightforward. UPS came the next day to pick it up and I was notified in just a couple of days that it was received. Only a couple of days after that, I received an email stating that my laptop screens were not repairable and I was given an Amazon card for the entire purchase price. I could not have been more pleased, as the purchase price was $599 and was a huge splurge for me in the first place. I was able to quickly replace the screens and back in business in no time. I would recommend this protection plan for any high dollar purchase.
