Why has my Cala Lily's flowers closed up?

My Cala Lily's flowers were beautiful, for the past couple weeks the flowers have folded up appear closed. It only gets direct morning light, and light watering.

Why has my Cala Lily's flowers closed up?
is it cold becuse it is cold here mayber they are delecite and need the warmth.
Reply:They are in their resting phase. Around the end of spring, they will start to put forth new blooms and do it all over again. Everything has a resting season
Reply:It sounds as if you have done everything right by it as far as light, warmth etc. go. It has finished flowering for this season although, if you are lucky, you may get a second flush.

Now is the time to check if it needs repotting and to give it a little feed so that when it flowers again you get as many spathes (flowers) on it as you did this time.
Reply:Perhaps it's done flowering for now. Flowers only last for a certain length of time, depending on the plant. Some plants only flower once or twice a year, while others continually put out new flowers throughout the blooming season. Other plants, like bromeliads, flower only once in their lifetime.
