I've had my standard white callas in the ground for over three years and they occasionally throw a double. It's happened at least three times, very pretty. These are the Zantedeschia aethiopica.

I also bought a Zantedeschia elliottiana calla, the gorgeous "Flame", and it had a double bloom on it. Hopefully it will throw another one someday, although I'd settle for it just reblooming. I've had trouble getting them to rebloom in the ground. I'm not usually successful with pot plants but for me the Z. elliottiana only seems to come back well in containers.

Here's a photo of it that I've posted to Plantfiles and hopefully it will be accepted tomorrow.
