Botanicals: Zantedeschia

Celebrate the elegant beauty of the purple arum lily (Zantedeschia) with this richly detailed botanical cross stitch design. Soft purple and lilac blooms rise gracefully above lush green leaves, captured in a hand-drawn style that brings my botanical illustration to life in stitches.
Zantedeschia, also commonly known as the calla lily or arum lily, is a genus of eight species of striking, tuberous, herbaceous flowering plants in the family Araceae native to southern and south-central Africa.
