and some just use a heart shape cookie cutter. point is tip of lily / top of heart wrapped to form base of lilly. Stamen is log of fondant around a wire.
Here is a link to tonedna's calla lily video on youtube. It is part 3 where she starts to cut the lily with a heart cutter:

I am sure the first two parts will come up when you go to these links, if you need them.

I need to know one more thing, can you eat gum paste calla lillies, if you can, do they taste good. If you can't what do you tell the people and when do you take it off the cake and what do you do with it. Sorry I said one thing but got carried away with my thinking. Thanks in advance
Deborah
thanks ninatat, i am so lala somethimes, lol, I understand now what you mean, I was thinking rock salt and it would give impression and you mean leave salt for an effect but kosher not rock salt. I must have been sleep typing (sleep walking) lol
Thanks again
Deborah
To put salt on the middle, just brush the yellow part with egg white or gum glue and then roll it in kosher salt. It comes out looking great.
Here is my calla lilly but it is not painted yet but couldn't wait to show what I learned from and thanks to Doug, ninatat, Texas_Rose and Edna. I really learned alot and I am very thankful to yall 
Hmmmmmmmmmm, how about trying Google Images. There are thousands of examples there.
Our Edna is a great Calla Lily teacher.
Thanks Doug, I was looking at more pics and I think I need to close the lilly up a little more. My biggest prob is I really never did any gardens. Ill try to go out and look at real ones or silk ones at stores lol I will keep practicing you are a good teacher just think if it was in a class wow you would blow everyone away 
that came out good see on the left it curls continue to curl the sides a little more and start a little lower on that side, in the front where you crossed over pull it back and make that curl also and it will be perfect. go to u-tube and watch edna, it took me a few times.
why would you want to eat sugar gum? The cake isn't enough? Sugar gum is a food grade product, but most of the flowers etc. are also constructed with wire, thread, floral tape etc. Gonna eat that too?
