Genesis of calla lilies wall murals

The flower itself was named after the Greek word for beautiful, "calla". According to the legend, Zeus brought Hercules, his son from another woman, to his wife Hera while she was asleep to drink her milk. 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 wall murals. When Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and desire, saw the lilies she was jealous of their beauty. She cursed their beauty by placing a large yellow pistil in the middle of the flowers. 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 wall murals.
