Would anyone out there have a pic. of a calla lily bulb just laying around somewhere? LOL I think I have made a mistake and put my calla lily in with my canna lily, and they look so much alike I can't tell them apart, They were so pretty I would hate for them to pop up in my big canna garden,I just had 2 of them. I can't find a pic. any where, Please help!! I just need the pic. of the bulb part of the flower. ( photo / image / picture from margie12u's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from margie12u's Garden ) :'( :'(
Canna's do not grow from bulbs, they are Rhizomes. Long, thick or thin, depending on how old they are...with the green shoots sprouting from them. I have dug up older ones that are 12-18 inches long with as many as 10 shoots coming out. Calla Lilies are bulbs, round, kind of flat with roots coming from one side and the green shoot from the other. The plant at the back of the second photo is a Canna.
Here is one photo http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/zantedeschia at the bottom of the page of a bulb. Don't think it is your variety, but might give you an idea? Sometimes putting in the Latin name will bring up a few different results than just the common name and vise versa. And sometimes you just get (un)lucky.
