The Secret to opening Calla Lilies!

I get asked for tips and tricks all the time... and one of the most popular ones surround the every popular calla lily...People are always asking for The Secret to Opening Callas....Here's the Secret- plain and simple... The Secret to Open Callas is...Wait for it..LEAVE the Callas on the Plant to open...Once the flowers are cut... It's Very Difficult if NOT Impossible to OPEN no matter what you've heard... running them under warm water, prying them open with your thumb... stuffing them full of cotton... I've heard it all... but the truth of the matter... is they won't open any further after they are cut...So that presents a unique challenge... once the flower is open to perfection on the plant... and cut... we have to figure out how to ship it...My friends Esprit Miami has perfected Shipping OPEN Premium Callas... they have a special packaging technique with 5 Callas wrapped with a leaf in clear cellophane... and it works perfectly...Look at the picture... these callas were just opened and they are in prime condition!So it appears that the Real Secret... is just Ordering Your Callas...From someone like Esprit Miami... who is very skilled at delivering them in their open state is a great solution...The other option- locally grown callas...that can travel safely from garden to your bouquet gently and quickly...
