Descrizione

This plant is known by various names - Black Calla (not to be confused with new 'black' hybrids of Zantedeschia), Solomon's Lily, Priest's Hood, Palestine Arum. I've been growing this plant for about 40 years - it was one of the first 'oddities' I acquired when my interest in botany first developed. At that time, it was very rare in California and not known at all in the nursery trade. I appreciated that it was marvelously adapted to my local climate (mediterranean), which I ultimately learned made perfect sense as its coastal Israeli, Syrian, Lebanon homeland is classified similarly.

I love when the flowers first open - this I caught on the very first morning. The interior of the spathe (the leaf-like bract surrounding the floral spike or spadix) is very dark and velvety, almost impossibly so. Already flies and other bugs were swarming at it, attracted by the rich smell of something dead (this lasts only the first day), becoming trapped in the interior just below the hairs which you can just see where the spathe wraps together at the base of the flower. The flower changes very quickly, the spathe fading to a dingy, washed out puce (deep royal red), falling back leaving the spadix standing alone.

The lush, deep green leaves are mere history at this point, already shriveling up, abandoning the flower to carry on alone. Eventually, the club-like fruiting spike will remain, carrying it seeds for germination with the fall rains.

This plant caused me some trouble in the distant past. As a teen, I managed to get a job at a local plant nursery. it was exciting to have the opportunity to learn so much from that environment, but I already had amassed various quirky facts about odd and unusual plants, one of them being this rare arum. A customer walked in and asked me about a story she'd heard of a 'Black Calla'. I informed her that while this plant was not available commercially, there was a woman in town who'd be happy to share a few bulbs with her (my source of the plant). So impressed with my service, she went straight to my boss, a degree-holding nurseryman of many years. He'd never heard of this species and thought I was making up stories to impress customers. When he confronted me and I pointed out his error using one of his own horticultural reference books, well, you can probably guess how long I lasted under his employ . . .
