Alcatraz?

The ones out here are always white, and I assume wild ones generally are. But there are fancy bred ones nowadays in other colours, I've seen them in stores and at weddings

I think that white flowers are the prettiest, because they always look so clean and delicate. So if I had so many calla lillies growing in my area, I would love them to be white!
I will look for the lillies in diferent colors though, I'm curious what they look like

Haha, lol, it happens to me too, when I'm reading my old posts or English essays, I always wonder what was I thinking about when I was writing them. For example, I can't tell you how many times already I wrote "it" instead of "eat"
Anyway, it would be so wonderful if all plants could be grown from cuttings, it would make everything so much easier

LOL!!! That very same thing is happening to me!!! I'm writing things in a very odd way lately, I actually have to re-read everything I write before I click on the post button, because it seems my brain is somewhat confused right now, Claudine I'm using english a lot on a daily basis because my work, that lately I've also been wondering if what I write in my own language is 100% correct, I'm talking about small things, of course... prepositions and such!

So English isn't your first language? I was sure that it is!
I always re-read all my posts, with my special ability to make silly mistakes, I prefer not to take any risk
Especially writing about plants is confusing, because on a daily basis I don't use English words like "stems" or "tubers"

No, it isn't It's very flattering to know you thought it was tho Truth is I started learning it when I was 16 years old. My mother language is actually spanish. The difference between both languages is very big, sometimes it can be a bit confussing! I make the silliest mistakes as well like writing ''add'' when I intended to write ''has'', lol... Same here But ever since I joined this forum, I've learnt a lot gardening vocabulary I was amazed at first, I had no idea I had been missing so many words in english all these years!
When did you start learning the language?

I started learning English in high school, so I was around 15 back then. I loved it from the very beginning. Before I started learning it, English had always seemed so mysterious to me. I remember wondering what 'the' means
And I completely agree, one of many great things about this forum is that we can learn gardening vocabulary here

I love the various hues I am seeing Calla lillies coming in. I don't recall this many different colors, but maybe it isthe difference in geography where I have lived. Does anyone know how highly these are bred and experimented with? The white is lovely, but again the color spectrum of late blows me away. I just saw a burgandy color that was gorgeous.
