Anthurium Colors May Vary

Anthuriums have been a popular tropical houseplant for years. They are commonly called spathe flower, flamingo flower, and taliflower because of their colorful spathes, which are actually a protective sort of leaf that surrounds the plant’s spadix. The spathe itself is not a flower at all, but the spadix which grows out of it will at times produce tiny male and female flowers for reproduction. While these true flowers are rarely noticed, its colorful spathe can be found in bright red, pink, purple, orange, and white depending on variety.
