Purple Flamingo Flower

Purple Flamingo Flower (Anthurium andraeanum) is an epiphyte that grows on rock, bark, fiber, and soil mixtures in tropical locations. The big polished dark green leaves are a backdrop to the elegant waxy, heart-shaped spathe that holds the yellow finger-like spadix. This display lasts several weeks like Greek gods sitting in a garden for all to behold. They typically enjoy high humidity, bright indirect light, and constant moisture for long-lasting blooms. They grow up to 3 feet tall and wide.
