Calla Lilies have prominent white trumpets. While many people mistake these structures for flowers, they are actually specialized bracts (specialized leaves) called spathes. Each spathe supports and protects a single yellow spike. The spike is where Calla Lily flowers are actually located — in fact, each spik is covered in tiny yellow flowers. The male, pollen-producing flowers grow at the top of the spike while the female flowers grow lower down.
