White calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica)! We all know them for their cut flowers, but did you realize they are also a perennial in most of the South? I’ll be honest, I haven’t found many of them growing in abandoned pastures; abandoned pastures seem to be the home for the daffodils and some of their other friends. No, I’ve seen calla lilies growing in the old established gardens of the south that are still taken care of. Why? Normally it is because calla lilies need more water than just the natural rainfall they might receive in a field.

How much water? A lot. Calla lilies are traditionally grown completely submerged in the water. A typical technique is to pot a very rocky soil mixture together in a pot, and sink the pot completely under the water in a fish pond or other decorative pool of water. However, they don’t have to be completely submerged. A regular irrigation system will take care of them. They like it a little more shady and damp, so just remember that when placing them in the garden.

Here at the Southern Bulb Company farm, we’re going to put them with our white rain lilies (Zephyranthes candida) and our native white spider lilies (Hymenocallis liriosme) in the thick clays at the edge of our pond. This will accomplish a couple of things. First, it will keep them in the moist soils they need to thrive. Second, the water helps keep the soil temperatures above freezing, and calla lilies can be sensitive to freezing. Our farm is located in northeast Texas, almost a Zone 7, and I would not recommend trying this bulb north of here.

What about the history of the bulb? While I would like to offer a great pass-a-long story like so many of our other bulbs have, all I can speak to is the wonderful old places I’ve seen them grow. Many of our old world bulbs like the little jonquil sweeties, old fashioned daffodils, Byzantine gladioli, and more came from Mediterranean places such as the south of Spain. Calla lilies come to us from South Africa, not a hot bed of early American immigration. From there though, they were eventually brought to Europe and the United States. Dr. Bill Welch had them in his old home near Monroe, LA for generations and now has them growing in a decorative galvanized feeding trough near Brenham, TX (the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream). I’ve also seen them all over the Island of Jersey, particularly in the fabulous garden of Mrs. Lea where her pond leads up to her famous trompe l’oeil, which I wrote about on the Bulb Hunter Blog here: http://www.bulbhunter.com/2007/07/12/the-isle-of-jersey/.

That should be enough description to get you going. We hope you enjoy and are anxious to put these bulbs into your hands! Don’t worry, they’re quick to multiply!

Amazing and Fantastic
Format: Hardcover
Without a doubt one of the best books, I have ever read. Follows a holocaust survivor through the deplorable conditions at Auschwitz to the top of the mountain in New Jersey as he becomes the CEO of two significant corporations, an oil company and a bank. Having the wits and wherewithal to stay alive while 59 members of his family were killed by the Nazis and the grit and determination to fight the Federal Reserve was truly amazing. A true hero.

here's what bothers me
Format: Kindle
There's no doubt that Siggi Wilzig was an amazing person. Courageous, tough, persistent, smart and so much more. And there is also no doubt that the Holocaust was the most heinous crime, i.e. genicide in world history. However, I cannot help but wonder if we all continue to cling to our religious beliefs and allow it to separate us from one another, will we ever be able achieve world peace? Siggi talked about gentiles as if there were a different species and his dedication to jewish causes was impressive, but it also concerned me. Wouldn't our world be better off if we cared equally about every race, religion, nationality and such. After all religion is faith. It's NOT fact based. Religious beliefs are impossible to prove. They are simply beliefs and yet mankind continues to identify one another by our race, our religion, our national origin. We are all just human beings with the same wants and needs. YES, let's make sure the world never forgets the horrors of the Holocaust and ensure we don't allow such hatred and mass murder to ever occur again to any people. And yes, there is anti-semitism and white nationalists and rascism and hatred of immigrants or anyone who looks or acts differently from ourselves. But isn't this the cause we should all be trying to overcome. To simply treat one another as we ourselves want to be treated. Not because of our race, our religion or any other factor - but because we are all human beings and we need to be kind to one another. This is the greatest goal we should all be working towards. If there is a God, does he favor one religion over another or one race or country over another? Ask yourself this question. This is the problem I had reading this book and yet, I still have the greatest respect for Siggi Wilzig and found the book quite interesting and highly inspirational.

Starting a business
Format: Kindle
This book explains everything you need to know about starting a business. For example, how to get the funds for it, setting a budget, advertise, using AI, and so much more. My daughter is starting a bakery and this book has been really helpful, but still learning about everything, like the complex concepts, but it is easier with the help of this book.
