    Hi Woo,It sounds like Mrs Woo has bought home what is known as Zantedeschia Aethiopica {Crowborough} which has the white flowers.It grows to a height of 36inches with a spread of 24inches.It is a perennial and has large arrow-shaped leaves and long-stalked white flowers in summer.It will grow in shallow water.It's other names are Easter Lily and Lily of the Nile.
    It likes sun or partial shade...
    Good Luck [​IMG]

    I don't think Arum Lily's eat fish Woo :D :D If it says they can go into ponds then they must be ok.You could always feed the fish to the Herons,then you won't have a worry.You will be doing the wildlife a favour and filling your pond with a beautiful flowering plant :D :D

    You might have to Google as I am not sure about that one, sorry :confused:

    Woo,just Googled and it said the plant is an eye and skin Irratant so make sure you wear gardening gloves if your skin is sensitive :eek:
