My friend had a large calla lily plant she didn't want. I dug up a large clump in early May and planted in a pot. They are currently wilty looking, but it's only been one day. Will they survive? I live in Washington, zone 9.
Make sure you are providing adequate water to the newly transplanted Calla Lily. It looks like it's doing pretty well. Trim away the damaged leaves that seem to be bent and broken, those will not recover.

I have calla lilies planted outside and they have beautiful purple blooms. If I cut those flowers, will they rebloom this season?
Unfortunately, no. Unlike many other flowers, calla lily deadheading won’t cause the plant to create more blossoms. However, it is recommended to deadhead them for aesthetic reasons, as discussed in the following article:

My yellow calla lilies have dark brown streaks in the leaves and I've searched the internet and can't find an answer as to why? Also, something is eating my leaves and I would like to know what I can put on the soil to kill the bugs/caterpillars. Thank you.
It actually looks like you may have a sport. That streak does not look like damage but rather a natural color variation in the leaves. Sports are a genetic mutation that can sometimes result in some pleasant variations in a plant. To be honest, it might be fun to see if this trait persists from year to year and you would have a unique variety.

I received a calla lily for Mother's day. I want to plant it but I need to know when this can be done. Do I need to wait to dry the bulb out? Can I plant it immediately? Do I need to wait until fall? I live in Northeast Pa. Thank you.
You may go ahead and plant out your calla lily plant after danger of frost. You should be safe in your region now.
You will need to dig up your rhizomes in the fall and store, as they are only hardy to zones 8 thru 10.

I have a calla lily plant that I did not plant and it came up right behind my yellow rose bush, and when my roses bloom they look like they are dead and they just bloomed.
I would say the two are not compatible and the calla lily should be dug out and moved or pruned out. The rose blooms looking dead could also be caused by thrips or by heat stress. Yellow roses tend to be short lived anyway, so any stresses will just make it worse.
For the past 2 or 3 years, I have only had one flower appear on my calla lilies. The other plants have healthy leaves, but no flowers.

My calla lily is planted in a pot in a sunny location on the deck. It has 12 blooms on the plant, but they are not opening up. Do they take a long time to get to that stage? Thanks for your help!
If the temperatures are cooler they will stay closed longer. As the temperatures warm the flowers will open.
