The calla lily made it through two weeks without water or direct sunlight while I was in England, but look at how the leaves on one side spread and grew. This view is after I turned it around when I could more easily see the extent of the growth on the direction of the curtains that blocked out the sun. It seems the leaves were trying to open those curtains. Isn’t nature wonderful?
