Calla (New Zealand) Picasso Over the past few years there's been a tremendous amount of breeding activity in callas, with the results being stronger plants that produce more flower and in a much wider color range. Picasso is a fine example of this work, with creamy white to light yellow blooms accented by dramatic purple eyes. The foliage is also festooned with a generous helping of white speckles and splashes, making it pretty even before the flowers emerge. Hard to find New Zealand callas are prized for their extra tall, large flowers. A florist's dream these make outstanding, long lasting cut flowers in estate size arrangements. New Zealand callas are superb garden plants in mixed beds and are magnificent in oversized containers. Very limited stock for '09 and odds are slim these will be available in future seasons.
