Arum Lillies

Lillies are appearing on our plot in Tesselaarsdal (pictured), the first real growth since a devastating flood nine months ago. Until these began to appear this month, it was only clover and mushrooms. The growth of the lillies is fast, and there seem to be many. Soon the plot may be covered with lillies. OBSERVATION: I think one calls these arum lillies or calla lillies -- or in Afrikaans, varkoor (pig's ear).
