For this week color crazy challenge I decided to share these pitcher flower. I took this picture last week, it has been raining so hard that the flowers aren’t so pretty anymore.
These are pitchers from my garden, as usual I don’t know what name do you give them, some people here also call it glass of milk.
I find them a plant with very graphic lines, with an exotic but very simple shape, which makes beautiful sophisticated jars, placed in three or four flowers, in a tall glass container without drawings or ornaments. In addition, they are an excellent cut flower as they last a long time, as long as it is placed in water.The jug is a winter flower that I pick up wet to make such elegant jars. It is one of the few plants where the leaf is as beautiful and usable as the flower.

Love them, I have three in my yard, but they havent bloomed yet this year. I don’t think they get enough sunshine. I might have to dig up the bulbs and replant them. We call them Calla Lilies. They also come in red, orange and yellow, but I believe they are hybrids of the white.
Oh yeah, and they come in purple as well.
Never seen these before. They do look like pitchers.
Here we use to call that flower a vase.
