The Calla Lily That Could

Last year I had a lovely Calla Lily in a pot on my patio.  It's flowers 

were stunning and it was so photogenic.  After it stopped blooming

and went into dormancy, it remained on the patio in it's pot.  

Then last August, Hurricane Harvey was predicted to take a close

hit to our city, so we quickly moved all of the patio furniture and

plants to the back porch where they were secured.  After months of

clean up, things started to return to normal, but the potted Calla Lily

was forgotten.  It was forgotten until just recently that is, when I 

found a pot stuck in a corner. I was about to empty the soil and

recycle the plastic pot, when I noticed sprigs of green poking up

through the soil.  It was the forgotten Calla Lily coming to life

once again! 

The dear Calla Lily braved the big bad hurricane and decided to come

back this spring with new growth.  I removed it from the confines of it's

nursery pot, and added some new soil, and gave it a new home befitting

it's stature.  

It is now resting in the center of the patio dining table where it will

receive adequate sunlight and some tender loving care.  I will be

happily sharing photos when it comes into it's full glory again.

Something tells me that it will be even lovelier this year because it 

is the Calla Lily That Could.
