Description
I love anthuriums and have them all over my garden. Anthuriums have been hybridized into an array of colors. The colored portion is not a flower, but a spathe - a leaf glorified by color to attract pollinating insects. The long 'nose' of the plant, called the spadix is the actual flower and has both male and female parts, which are the tiny bumps, which can, but not always, develop into fruits with seeds at the center. The colored leaf lasts a long time, sometimes weeks. This one began deep red and as it aged, it turned deep orange.
Native to South and Central America, Anthuriums are cultivated all over the world. All-in-all they a most spectacular, strange beauty.
