ZANTEDESCHIA AETHIOPICA IS A SPECIES IN THE FAMILY ARACEAE, NATIVE TO SOUTHERN AFRICA IN LESOTHO, SOUTH AFRICA, AND SWAZILAND. FUNNY ENOUGH WHEN YOU ADD WATER TO DIRT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL SPRING UP, ONE DAY THIS FIREY DUDE POPPED UP AND BLOOMS EVERY SPRING/SUMMER. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IS CAME FROM.
