Anthurium can also be called a "Flamingo Flower" referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix. If you can provide high humidity Anthurium’s will reward you with a fantastic display of incredibly bright almost artificial looking flowers. The flowering can go on all year in a variety of reds, pinks and white. Heart shaped waxy leaves are a feature in their own right providing the perfect foil for this wonderful flower.
Anthuriums are often given to represent a deep romantic attraction. This is due to their beautiful yet unusual appearance – the glossy red spathe, and the open, heart-shaped face. The openness of its blossom is also said to represent hospitality, and many people present these flowers as gifts to friends and relatives.
Care and Handling
Do not refrigerate or store in cool temperatures below 45 F as this will cause blackening of the flowers. Mist daily. Re-cut 1/2 inch off stems every 5 days and soak flower heads for 2 hours to keep fresh
