What’s In a Name?
Lily lives a mysterious life with a misleading name. Regardless of the ‘Lily’ in their title, it’s in fact, not a member of the Lily family, it’s a part of the Araceae family. The Genus name actually originates from Greece. Scientifically known as Spathiphyllum, the word was birthed from the original Greek term, ‘spath’, which also means ‘spoon’ in translation. For the ‘phyl’ portion of the name, it roughly translates to ‘leaves’ both terms referring to the houseplant’s beautiful, white, spoon-shaped leaves. The ‘Peace Lily’ name actually refers to the Calla Lily, since they both have similar sizes, leaf colors, and texture.
Good Communicator
Peace Lilies are good communicators. When the Peace Lily is thirsty or not getting enough love, they’ll show you their displeasure through their foliage. You may begin to notice when the leaves start to wilt and look a bit sad, however, they do bounce back pretty easily once you quench the thirst with water. It’s the key to life!
Flower Power?
While the white-cream petal-like leaves appear to be the ‘flower’ portion of the plant, it’s actually a bit different then usual. What a lot of people don’t realize, is that the ‘petal’ is actually a modified leaf, AKA a spathe. The ‘flower’ on the Lily actually is in the middle of the leaf and looks like a cream colored textured spire. Who woulda’ thunk?
