zantedeschiazantedeschia
genusgenusElegant herbaceous plants characterized by their large, arrow-shaped leaves and distinctive funnel-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage. These striking plants naturally occur in marshy areas and seasonal streams, developing thick, fleshy underground stems.
Etymology
The genus name 'Zantedeschia' honors Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi (1773-1846), who made significant contributions to the study of plants in the Veneto region of Italy.
Interesting fact!
Despite their flower-like appearance, what we typically consider the bloom is actually a modified leaf called a spathe that surrounds the true flowers, which are tiny and clustered on a central spike.
