    Gosh I can't get callas to grow here because of our climate. What a lovely variety of colours you have. :stew2:

    Thanks Donna.... this is my first real time trying to grow them. I had a start from one of my aunts, and I've been struggling to find a place where it can flourish.


    Eileen... I ordered a mix bag of bulbs and so far I'm tickled to see them bloom. I just hope they will come back in the spring. There appears to be a yellow one trying to bloom. I covered them up for our upcoming freeze. Sure would be nice to see them survive and come back in full force this Spring. Thanks!

    Yeah, I have to get some now too :rolleyes: and I promised Randy this weekend that I wouldn't buy any new plants next spring so we can save money for some home projects. But....those are gorgeous.

    I have read that when they really like where they are growing they will sometimes bloom twice a year....once in Spring and again the mid-late Fall. So your's seem to be happy and doing what Calla's are want to do. ;)

    Calin, be sure you show us your new Callas in the springtime.

    Chocolate, I bet you could get them grow well in your climate too.

    Thanks Frank! I sure hope the others are different colors too.

    Toni... come on now... not buying ANY new plants? And Randy believed you? :D Besides they weren't very expensive. I believe it was a bag of 10 or 12 for less than $20. And I sure hope they like it in that tub because I really would love to see them flourish.

    Thanks everyone!
