ANTHURIUM

ANTHURIUM FLOWERS

Anthurium Flowers

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.

The Legendary Flower



Kadupul Flower

The Kadupul Flower begins blooming just before midnight and dies within a matter of hours. Because of its extremely short lifespan, even in its native Sri Lanka, the flower is rarely seen. The Kadupal Flower has been mythologized throughout history, and is referred to as the legendary flower of the Celestial Nagas. However, because of its ludicrously short lifespan the flower’s monetary value is pretty much nil.
