This Arum sp. was photographed from SFO Zoo, California. Please help in ID.

white calla lily
often in ditches and wet edges of bogs etc
now cultivated
because it fetches good prices in bridal bouquets and table decor at weddings
even the UBC bot garden forums suggest it can grow in the pacific NW gardens, that’s where … used to study, way up north. 

Thanks … I have several cultivars of Call lily, from Kashmir as well as California, all cultivated. I never thought I could be wild growing also. We had first seen this first about 20 years back on excursion trip to Darjeeling, and never thought it could have been Calla lily always believed it to be Arum only. I will upload my collection of Calla lily when I reach Z of my database.


Could this be Zantedeschia aethiopica (common names calla lily, arum lily. Link : http://nowathome.wordpress.com/tag/arum-lilies/
