Simple yet beautiful...Anthurium

Our all-time favourite is the Anthurium or also known as the Flamingo flower. The flower is simple and yet commands its own presence. Altogether, we have 5 pots of anthurium in our potted garden with each type differ in terms of flower size eventhough the flowers are of the same colour. The above Anthurium is the first pot that we nurture, the flower is bigger in size (about the size of the adult's palm) than the subsequent species that follows, with bright cheerful red blooms.

















All these Anthurium produced flowers that are smaller in size (about the size of a child's palm) and they are in colours of mauve, pink and white. Bought them as seedlings in September last year, seller imported them from Thailand and especially for this species (top photo), it just couldn't stop flowering....really gorgeous.

Seen one Anthurium in the nursery during my last visit there with beautiful bi-colour blooms ie. half green/half red...and of course, being a collector's item...well too expensive for my budget.
