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!

Great dog toys!
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
My 3 dogs simply love them! Exactly as advertised. Arrived promptly. Squeakers in every toy. Well constructed as they are all still in one piece. :)

Labrador
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
I have three Labrador retrievers and a bulldog who all loved these toys. They were able to play tug of war without destroying them. This is quite amazing because the bulldog has extremely strong jaws. They play for hours with these toys and they have not become disinterested yet. I would recommend them for dogs who play together with their toys. They are especially enamored of the octopus and the clam. And to my surprise, my old chocolate female Labrador became particularly interested in the salmon. Each toy appears to have multiple squeakers and I think this is what gathers their interest. If you are looking for toys for multiple dogs these should fit the bill!

Not durable- NOT SAFE! Filled with CLEAR PLASTIC WRAP! See Video
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
My dogs tore right into these. They didn’t last 10 mins. Inside them, is clear plastic that my dogs were already getting into their mouths. That’s what makes the crinkle noises! CLEAR PLASTIC! This plastic could become an obstruction in your dog’s intestines if they eat that! That’s not safe for dogs and the fact that they are not durable either is a very bad combination! A dog toy manufacturer should know this! If you haven’t bought these, don’t. If you have, do NOT leave your dogs unsupervised with them. Unsafe! They are very cute and my dogs were enjoying playing with them, but they just aren’t durable, nor safe! I’d say they aren’t a very good value either considering what we paid for them. I’m rebuilding mine (taking out the plastic and the little squeakers) to try and make them safer, but I still will be supervising them with them for the short time that they will probably last. Don’t waste your money. I just purchased these at Christmas- 2024 for my two Scottie Terriers. My dogs just played with these the first time today and it didn’t take 10 mins for them to be tearing pieces of clear plastic out and had it in their mouths. Smh That’s just so wrong. Why would they put that in there? I won’t be buying from this company again.

Great value and fun for dogs!
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
These squeaky dog toys are a great buy! The pack comes with a nice variety, and each toy keeps my dog entertained for hours. They are colorful, lightweight, and the squeakers work well without being too loud. The material feels durable so far, even with regular chewing. Perfect for small to medium dogs. Definitely worth the price—would buy again!

Love these toys!
Color: 4 PCS Ocean Series
My 1 year old pup loves these toys. The clam has been a big hit since it crinkles, has a squeaker "pearl" and a rope. He very proudly brings me this to play with him. Recommend!
