Anthurium (Flamingo plants)

Anthuriums are also known as Flamingo flower or boy flower

These popular exotic houseplants have eye-catching, waxy heart shaped spathes (often referred to as flowers) with yellow spikes (spadix) sticking out from the centre of each spathe on dark green foliage

Anthuriums as we know them today have their history going back to 1876 when the first hybrids were developed from plants from the rain forests of Columbia.

The name Anthurium is derived from the Greek words 'Anthos' meaning Flower and 'oura', which means tail (Tail Flower).
