Interesting indeed, some of the comparison terms later in the article, though seem a bit stretched: for instance, 'calla lily' on its own makes me think of this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zantedeschia_aethiopica, not the colored cultivars, which are quite new.

Yes...

Calla brings up 'creamy white' in my mental database too, and next down is 'flame orange.' Bat flowers are black, but very few flowers are only black.
