Data Collected: April 5, 2012
Location collected: I took this picture in my backyard. It is in a little planter my dad made and there is two big flowers and one that is dried up towards the bottom.
Habitat: Where this flower is growing is in a planter, most plants around it are not very healthy, they are mostly all dead so it can survive in conditions other plants might find it difficult to survive. We don't fertilize the soil in this section so the soil doesn't really have many nutrients. This calla lili only receives sunlight from around noon to sunset. This plant can be found in California, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.
Special Notes: Calla lilies are used for decorations for Easter. They can grow to about two to three feet high. They can also grow in shallow waters. there are different clors as well, such as yellow and pink.
