**C** for **Calla Lily** **(Zantedeschia aethiopica) ** *Information taken from the web*

The name derives from the greek Kalos, which means beauty.

In ancient times, the calla was considered a symbol of elegance and nobility.

In the last century it has been the symbol of the Art Deco period.

At one time, give as a gift calla meant having respect and esteem for the person to whom you donated, it was also considered a sign of strong friendship.

Today, give a woman a bouquet of calla lilies, means express appreciation for her beauty.

The callas are widely used as cut flowers in ceremonies as a symbol of purity, innocence, sincerity.

In the language of flowers can also mean modesty.

 

Congratulations to all for the beautiful images added! :)
