Re: Calla Lily (Zantedeschia elliottiana)

tsk, tsk.  two weeks and you are already impatient?  :-) just kidding,
but i bet there is nothing wrong with your tubers, they are just taking
their time.  at least with mine, they wait until it is warm enough
outside, around may, before growing.  this one will grow and bloom in the
summer in my parents' backyard.  it has a lovely yellow flower.  

btw, i also have a Z. rehmanni, which is a smaller species with a pale
pink flower.  this one however grows in the winter and doesn't do as
well.  i'm trying to reverse its dormancy cycle so that i can grow it
outdoors too.

good luck.
