Dear Michael,
I saw the same thing when I lived for a while in
Quito! It was also common around homes in the city, a
beautiful sight!

>>Whenever anyone mentions Zantedeschia, I recall seeing
it growing in Ecuador, not native of course - but lining a streambed for a
length of 300-400 feet or so. The elevation was high so the air
was very cool but the stream was coming out of the side of a volcano so the
water was bathwater temperature. The Zantedeschia was gloriously thick,
green and with thousands of inflorescences. We were both very
happy.
