Calla lily symbol of purity - Lirio de cala símbolo de pureza

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Hello Steenmians


This photograph I took in the beautiful gardens of the Selva Negra Hotel is located in Colonia Tovar - Venezuela.


This simple and slender flower, belonging to the family of Araceae (Araceae), is known by several names, among them: Calla, Calla lily, Alcatraz, Ethiopian Cala, Ethiopian hoop, water lily, duck flower or jug flower.

Its scientific name is Zantedeschia aethiopica and is a vivacious herbaceous plant, of South African origin, whose fleshy stem can reach more than one meter in height. Generally, between 2 and 3 trumpet-shaped flowers that measure about 5 or 6 centimeters in length flower from each plant.


This striking funnel-shaped flower, that does not go unnoticed by anyone, also emit a very pleasant perfume, but both humans and animals should be careful, because both the flower and the rest of the plant are toxic.

The callas represent beauty, being considered a symbol of purity and compassion. In addition, it is considered lucky.


As for its care, it is a very strong plant, but it has developed in the ideal conditions in the shade or semi-shade, in a very humid soil, but with a good drainage and organic fertilizer in spring.

Hola Steenmianos


Esta fotografía la tomé en los hermosos jardines del Hotel Selva Negra, ubicado en la Colonia Tovar – Venezuela.


Esta sencilla y esbelta flor, perteneciente a la familia de las Aráceas (Araceae), es conocida por diversos nombres, entre ellos: Cala, alcatraz, cala de Etiopía, aro de Etiopía, lirio de agua, flor de pato o flor del jarro.


Su nombre científico es Zantedeschia aethiopica, es una planta herbácea vivaz, de origen sudafricano, cuyo tallo carnoso puede llegar a medir más de un metro de altura. Generalmente, de cada planta florecen entre 2 y 3 flores en forma de trompeta que miden unos 5 o 6 centímetros de largo.


Esta llamativa flor, con forma de embudo que no pasan desapercibidas por nadie, además, desprenden un muy atractivo perfume, pero tanto los seres humanos como los animales deben tener cuidado, porque tanto la flor como el resto de la planta son toxicas.


Las calas representan la belleza, siendo consideradas símbolo de pureza y de compasión. Además, se considera que da suerte.


En cuanto a su cuidado, es una planta muy fuerte, pero se desarrollan en condiciones ideales a la sombra o semi-sombra, en un suelo muy húmedo, pero con un buen drenaje y abono orgánico en primavera.
