Hi Vossner,
Green Goddess is a strinking looking Calla, yours looks very good. The photo I sent is one called Treasure. Normally, the spathe isnot shaped like that but we took the photo because the shape was unusual. Normally the top of the spathe is even apart from its tip. This one here is called Cameo, a very vigorous grower and the stems werre often over a metre tall with very hefty stems. We only grew it for a couple of seasons as it did not colour up as brightly as it could do, seems our summer days were not quite hot enough. It was beautiful though and we have got a few tubers of these which we kept for our own garden, along with other favourites.
