Calla
Common names: calla, calla lily.
A calla lily refers to plants of genus Zantedeschia in the family Araceae.
They produce large, showy flower spathes, therefore they are grown both as ornamental
plants in addition to cut flowers.
Callas are large flowers with thick, waxy petals with solitary 6- to 8-inch flower
heads that make excellent cut flowers or blooming plants.
Many hybrids are in cultivation, with spathes in varying shades of white, yellow,
orange, red, or pink.
As a cut flower, vase life is seven to 10 days.
Special care: Water frequently plus cut stem ends every few days to prevent curling.

Snapdragon
Common names: snapdragon.
Antirrhinum is a genus of plants that used to be the family Scrophulariaceae,
more commonly known as snapdragons from its flowers' fancied resemblance to the
face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when properly squeezed.
These tall-spike stems usually have fully opened florets upon arrival with flower
buds on the upper portion showing a hint of color.
Flower colors include pink, purple, lavender, white, yellow, orange or burgundy.
Snapdragons are available year-round, as a cut flower they will last five to 10
days.
Special care: Snapdragons drink lots of water, so check water level frequently.
