The white calla stamp features two white callas, with green leaves on a pink background. The pink calla stamp features a single pink calla, with green leaves on a burgundy background.

Native to the southern parts of Africa, callas (Zantedeschia) were used medicinally before becoming prized around the world for their beauty and their longevity as cut flowers. The white Zantedeschia aethiopica remains the most popular species, but there are now many hybrids, in shades of orange, pink, purple, yellow and nearly black. In the Victorian language of flowers, callas were ascribed a variety of different meanings, depending on their colour. White signifies purity and innocence, while pink conveys admiration and appreciation and near-black evokes elegance and mystery.

Sometimes referred to as calla lilies, these lovely plants are not lilies at all but members of the unusual arum family (Araceae), which also includes skunk cabbage, jack-in-the-pulpit and peace lily. The sophistication and elegance of callas make them a popular flower for weddings, as well as other celebrations and remembrances..”
