🌍 Cultural Note: The Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is the official national flower of Ethiopia. As a native African plant, it connects the country to its ancient roots and is one of the oldest flowers cultivated by humans. Its pure white color aligns with the values of purity and virtue in Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. While often used in weddings in other cultures, in Ethiopia, it is prominently featured in funeral arrangements, symbolizing the purity of the departed soul and rebirth. The flower's ability to thrive in varied conditions mirrors the resilience of the Ethiopian people, and it is also a significant export for the country's economy.
