Anthurium
Name: Anthurium, pronounced
an-THOO-ree-um, are once-seen, never-forgotten flowers! You may have come across
them on Caribbean holidays or in the Far East. Common names include painter's
palette, flamingo flower.
Description: Their
unmistakable glossy heart-shaped flower bract (which gives them their popular
name of painter's palette) surrounds the true flowers, which are in the form of
a spike (or spathe) at the centre.
Colour: Anthuriums
come in shades of reds, pinks, white, lilac, green and chocolate brown.
Availability:
All year round.
Care Tips: They last three weeks
or more. The flowers should not be chilled. The bracts are fleshy and very easily
bruised - take care when transporting or arranging these fabulous flowers.
