We got our mini callas in for this Friday's prom. Some of them have spots or flaws on the spathe. Normally we would send them back to the supplier, but supply is short and so is time, and the marks are not that bad. Considering the single night that they'll be worn, and the lighting conditions that they'll be seen in, I think they can be used.

I just spent an hour trying to find a post or thread that talked about camouflaging calla spots. I'm sure that I've read something about that here, some time in the past, but can't find anything right now.

So ... hoping someone will tell me the secret!
 
I use either white or ivory spray paint and spray a puddle, then paint the spots with a chenille dipped in paint very lightly, then dust with baby powder to blend in the paint and give it the same texture as the flower...
