Double leafed call lily


Question

Calla Lily
Hello!
I recently found a double leafed  call lily - ie ; it had two white leaves instead of the traditional ingle - is this an aberration? I have never see one like this before.

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Toby,
Thanx for your question.  Plant breeders are constantly coming up with new varieties.  This could be an aberration or it could have been bred in on purpose.  Hopefully, you'll be able to keep the plant going and it will eventually produce multiple rhizomes so you can have more than one plant.  Seeds from this plant will not necessarily resemble the parent plant but you can try that too as a method of increasing the numbers of this plant.  You never know what you might get.  I hope this helps.  Thanx for the pic.
Tom
