Re: Has anyone heard that Calla Lillies smell horrible???

NO!!! No one will have their nose in your bouquet, and if they did, hit them with it
I am having callas in my bouquet and my mom told me a lot of times the pollen is loose and it can fall of the dress and stain it. You should ask your florist if they can take some excess pollen off of the tips. Hope I helped

Re: Has anyone heard that Calla Lillies smell horrible???

No, not at all. If anything they are odorless compared to a lot of the more pungent flowers. Chrissy, I'm having a lot of Calla Lillies too. My concern are the orchids I'm also having bc their smell tends to remind people of funerals
I'm also using gardenias to compensate bc they have a sweet strong scent that hopefully will over power the orchids.

I mean if you have a room filled with them, maybe I can see it, but I am sure that is with any flower.

Chrissy, they are such a pretty flower and if that was the case, no one would get them.

Don't even worry about it

NOOOOOOOOOO Calla's have NO smell whatsoever! That is so not true. Calla's have been my favorite flower since I was a girl (I even grow them) and they have no scent. Now the stargazer lily does and it is very strong... maybe the person who told you this mixed up to 2

Calla Lillies are an odorless flower, they have absolutely no scent, whoever told you that was probably just being a hater

They are definitely smell less compared to a lot of other flowers. Actually, I don't think they smell at all.

I think they onle smell horrible when they are dead... Maybe someone sent your friend dead calla lillies!?!??!

Oh my God Chrissy! I have no idea if Calla Lillies smell bad or not, but for some reason your subject line just made me go hysterical laughing! I'm sorry! It would be sad if they do because they are such a beautiful flower!

OMG Day Day stop talking about my smell!!

JK!

Hey....honeslty....a ton of flowers don't smell so pretty. But thats only when they've been sitting in water for two days on someone's desk.
Chrissy, people are not going to smell the callas. The only stinky calla I ever smelled was one that was on my desk for three days and dying....trust me. You'll be fine. And they'll have soo much booze in there body that if they do smell something, they'll think its their own bo from dancing

Yea, I wouldn't even think about it. I have never heard that before. Noone is going to smell your boquet or centerpieces.
Chrissy, enjoy your calla lillies!
