Calla Lily.?
The latin name is: zantedeschia aethiopica The striking arum lily %26quot;flower%26quot; is actually many tiny flowers arranged in a complex spiral pattern on the central column (spadix). The tiny flowers are arranged in male and female zones on the spadix. The top 7 cm are male flowers and the lower 1.8 cm are female. If you look through a hand-lens you may see the stringy pollen emerging from the male flowers which consist largely of anthers. The female flowers have an ovary with a short stalk above it, which is the style (where the pollen is received). The spadix is surrounded by the white or coloured spathe.The whiteness of the spathe is not caused by pigmentation, but is an optical effect produced by numerous airspaces beneath the epidermis.
The flowers are faintly scented and this attracts various crawling insects and bees which are responsible for pollinating the flowers. Cross pollination occurs as the anthers of each flower ripen before the ovaries.
Reply:The calla lily - botanical name is Zantedeschia aethreopica, is in the same family of plants that arums belong to. The Calla lily does not have a flower at at all , infact it is a modified leaf called a spathe. Plants with this charateristic belong to the Araceae family of plants. A diagram of the interior of the spathe can be found by looking here
