Recognize the material

Zantedeschia aethiopica has a showy white spathe around a yellow spadix and large arrow-shaped leaves. The source flags harmful effects if plant material is eaten.

Botanical reference: Zantedeschia aethiopica — NC State Extension

Check what the reference photo shows

A leaf photograph can explain foliage but does not promise the bloom you will buy. Ask to see the spathe and its condition as well as the offered stem length.

A comparison you can reproduce

Compare one and three calla stems in the ingredient list and cost estimate. Test real faces and rim clearance; keep ornamental material away from food use and consult the source's handling cautions.

The comparison is an original BLUMIVELA planning exercise, not a tested arrangement or a botanical treatment.
