My soil is not well draining and I live in the south US so it's very humid in the summer, where they are planted they get full sun. Any idea why they have not flowered would be appreciated. minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343697909944217981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-48957083832530300702016-09-06T18:07:47.081+01:002016-09-06T18:07:47.081+01:00PS Informed comments are very much part of a blog....PS Informed comments are very much part of a blog.I am proud of some of my regulars and they keep me on my toes.Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-15388245261647641462016-09-06T18:05:07.696+01:002016-09-06T18:05:07.696+01:00At my age we go to more funerals than weddings Sar...At my age we go to more funerals than weddings Sara!<br />Yes a lot of people associate zantedeschias with funerals but I love to see them at weddings.<br />I don't like the idea of being restricted by fashion!Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-50184359344833860192016-09-06T12:20:56.584+01:002016-09-06T12:20:56.584+01:00Such beautiful photos!

The white ones are (still) considered funeral flowers here. :)<br />In our cold climate, they should be grown in containers and overwintered indoors.<br />Thank you for the appealing post!

I actually wrote about it on my blog post yesterday, but I didn’t post a very good photo to show the size of the whole plant.

I have often see them in Victoria B.C. There they are usually in the ground and are not cosseted in any way. In pictures of exotic gardens they seems to often grow in water (ex. Ninfa in Italy).<br />They only time I tried, I buried the plant for the winter. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-63635341137247295252016-08-26T17:25:09.154+01:002016-08-26T17:25:09.154+01:00I have a couple of Zantedeschias growing in pots t...I have a couple of Zantedeschias growing in pots that overwintered outside last year. Both are quite small. One is standing in a saucer of water and the other is in our puddle pond. A tiny pond the size of a puddle. Neither flower. I had thought of planting one in a basket in our larger pond. It is filtered. so there is some movement of water.<br />My sister has a dark purple cala - well Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
