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 casual with jeans and dressy shoe
I am usually size 7, but if you have long toes like I do then you need a 7.5. The size 7 my toes were hanging off the edge. Love the shoe, color and heel height as expected. Not your dance all night shoe, but if you are used to heels it can be an all night outing shoe. Front of shoe is narrow, which is why fit seems small. Picture description- as you look at pic. Left foot is 7 and right foot is 7.5. As you can see the 7, toes hang off edge and do so more when you are walking and foot slides forward. So they do run a bit small. If you have normal toes..lol.. you should be ok with your usual size.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes
LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes!!! My 1st order was for a size 9 which is what I typically wear in an open toe shoe. I had to return them and go up a 1/2 size and they fit juuuuust right. I could have even gone up a full size but the ankle strap may have been a little too lose. Very sexy slique looking shoe. I can manage to walk/dancing in these for about 4 hours before I have to call it quits. The ankle straps help to provide additional support and the front straps fit snug but not too tight. Def wouldn't mind them in one or maybe two more colors. Classic cut, well made... def a must have.

Too narrow at the toe band
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
Too narrow at the toe - it didn't hurt, but my toes looked like squished sausages, and I have narrow feet!

So sexy!
These are so sexy! I just discovered Schutz and this is my first pair. I have been a Stuart Weitzman devotee for years and ordered the Nudist for my wedding. Had to return them because the strap was too large on my narrow foot and I kept sliding through. That's when I found the Schutz - Cadey Lee. They feel stable and well-constructed. I usually wear a 7 in heels so that's what I ordered. The length is perfect and my foot doesn't slide through the toe strap. They're not quite as tall as the Stuart Weitzman but they're every bit as beautiful and 1/4 the price! Haven't worn them for a long period of time yet so I can't report regarding the long-term comfort. I'm considering wearing them in my wedding in a few months so we'll see....

This is a beautiful sexy sandal leg lengthening and just gorgeous
This is a beautiful sexy sandal leg lengthening and just gorgeous. I am a true seven and after reading reviews of pinched toes etc I sized up a 1/2 size to a 7 1/2. What a beautiful surprise! They fit like a glove! My most comfortable dress shoe! Ordered another pair love them so much. I highly recommend this sandal but size up 1/2 size for a perfect fit.
