If you are referring to a true Zantedeschia ("Calla lily" is such an
imprecise name), then I am sure you mean Z. 'Schwarzwalder', a true "all
black" Zantedeschia. I do have that plant and will probably have some
offsets later in the season.

Send me your postal address privately and I'll see if I can help you out =of
your misery....
