We've been on an Anthurium binge... here's some of the old ones... and a new one (it's dirty because it got splashed with mud).
It's hard to pick a favorite There's a ladybug on one of them... haven't seen too many ladybugs over here!
Hi putu I prefer the foliage type anturiums! Do you have any pics? I will admit that some of your flower pics may just change my preference! Some of them are stunning!!!! Cheers Palms
Dean , do you have names for any of the foliage spp. ?? the middle one on your last post is superb ..
Michael, I wish I could say I knew my Anthuriums as well as my palms. The one you asked about was labeled as A. corrugatum, but as I understand, there are several species that have this "look," and are misnamed all the time. The second photo in post #7 is another example of this type. These two are different. Below are what i think the names are. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The first one in post #7 I believe is Anthurium cupulispathum - But I could be wrong. The second, an unknown corrugatum type with very large leaves. The third is unknown. The forth is A. sp. 'Ace of Spades' In post #8: The first is Anthurium crystallinum The second is the corrugatum type The third is a small leaf of a juvenile A. magnificum
Dean, I remember seeing a photo of you with a foliage anthurium with a very loooong leaf. Do you know the name of that one? I saw the same plant in a garden in Vista last weekend (it's quite distinctive - unmistakable), and the gentleman said it was anthurium marmorata, but I can't find that name anywhere.
Kim, I believe the plant you are thinking of is Philodendron melanochrysum. JD Andersen posted a pic of me with this plant on PalmTalk not too long ago. However, there is a little controversy surrounding the name. Some call it P. andreanum. I believe both are valid names for a species, but some say they are synonymous. It appears as if the confusion lies from the fact that the juvenile leaves of both are impossible to differentiate. This discussion usually provides a lively exchange between aroid "experts," and I don't claim to be one. But I can take photos, regardless of what it is called.
Gina, Never heard of that one. But knowing your taste it must be nice (or a black one) I'll look it up. I don't suppose you have any pics???
Dean, Food for thought. In post #8, the first Anthurium looks like A. clarinervum. In the floral trade, one cut leaf sells for about $10 per stem. This is before it reaches the florest shop.
