Where do cala lillies originate from?

Answer 1

The Calla Lilly originates from South Africa. The Calla Lilly spread from Africa to Europe in the 1600s. While the name of this flower may lead one to believe that it is a Lilly, it is actually not.

Answer 2

All the Calla Lilies originate from the African continent and are found wild between north Malawi and South Africa. They are often referred to as Arum Lilies. The Calla Lilies should not be confused with the flowers found in the genus named Calla that can be found in the Araceae family. This genus contains only one species, the Calla palustris, and unlike the Calla Lilies, this plant is native to cool regions in the temperate zoon and grows wild in Europe, North America and northern Asia. Another source of confusion regarding the Calla Lilies is that they actually do not belong to the family of the lilies.
