Who knows about calla lilies?

I want my bo-k to be half black magic roses and half deep red callas. the problem is that i don't know what kind of callas those would be. My florist said either burgundy or schwartz callas. Burgundy looks too pink in pictures and schwartz look more purple or black to me. Is there anyone who had them who could tell me which ones I want? I want something that approximately matches the black magics.

TIA!!!!

schwart is more purple/black like this:


burgundy callas are similar but more pink:


theres also red sox which is much red-er:


here is your black magic rose:


In my opinion I would say do not try to match flowers exactly. Nature produces what it wants regardless of variety. Depending on what types of soil the flower is grown in, even a standard variety will vary in color a bit. So don't try to match colors exactly.
That being said i would def recommend the black magic with the schwartzwalder. it will give the bouquet a lot of depth.
this is a poor example of the effect:

Would they be able to paint them? My florist showed me an amazing picture of roses that were spray painted a beautiful shade of pink. I don't know if they'd be able to do that with callas, and how much it would cost, but it would give you the exact color you're looking for.

Hi Cookie! My bok is mango mini callas, so no your color, but here's a deep red - these are Mini Calla Lilies and Alstromaria; i think that with calla lilies overall, not every color is available in both the full and mini sizes, but I am not a florist so that could be wrong!!!
