With more than anthurium varieties, this member of the Arum
family is certainly diverse. The anthurium is a tropical species, found
growing in the wet tropical mountainous terrain of South America,
Panama, and Columbia.
The most characteristic feature of the anthurium is a single “spathe”
which protrudes from the top of the flower. This spathe contains both
male and female parts, making the anthurium somewhat unique in that it
is a hermaphrodite.
For the flower industry, the anthurium is grown in hot house
environments. With various cultivars now available, the anthurium is
ideal for a host of applications and occasions. Once restricted mainly
to "exotic" bouquets, it is now a staple of the flower industry - from
simplistic vase arrangements, to impressive floral arrangements,
sympathy tributes and corporate displays.
Most commonly seen in red, white, green and pink, there are many other
colours available. These include, but are not limited to, pink-white
variegated, purple, green-white marbled and even brown!
A brilliant and dramatic tropical flower, whatever the occasion. |
