Arum Lillies

We don't see many lillies like this up here in Queensland - they are about and in some gardens particularly in the Gold Coast, or Sunshine Coast hinterlands, and florists who are a little more creative will use them.

My sister is a florist in Adelaide and though she is not working with fresh flowers at the moment (more with silk flowers), her friend called in with a lovely bunch of these when I was in Adelaide last week (early August 07).

I remember these growing in the garden at home when I was growing up in Adelaide. My mother did put flowers in the house - but I don't recall having these in the house. I think they are more popular as an indoor flower with rather modern florists. I might be wrong.

We don't see them very much around Brisbane - but I know they grow well in the hinterland - Mt Tamborine, or Sunshine Coast areas.
