Meet the peace lily
Natural from South America, the peace lily (Spathiphyllum Wallisian) is also known as the “white flag” or spatophilus. This plant stands out for its bright and intense green leaves, with an elongated and exuberant shape, and for its flowers in the form of white, delicate and elongated spikes.
Did you find this description strange? It’s because, in fact, from a biological point of view, that white part that looks like a giant petal is a bract, that is, a differentiated leaf that develops to protect and highlight the inflorescence, which is the ear, the region that contains the material that the plant uses to reproduce.
Anyway, the “flower” of this lily is considered a symbol of peace due to its color and delicacy. In addition, this plant grows fast in summer, can develop lush volume and can even be planted in pots or in clumps and borders protected by coverings such as trees and walls.
