When she woke up, she pushed him away and drops of milk flew across the sky to create the milky way and the ones that fell on the ground grew into beautiful lilies. This is a great story to tell when your family, friends and colleagues will ask you about why you decorated with calla lilies posters.

Due to this story, some associate the calla lily with Venus and thus with lust and sexuality. This does not have to hinder you though as it would make perfect sense to decorate your bedroom with calla lilies posters.
