Description
This luscious green anthurium came as a surprise back when I learned about the many colors of these Christmas flowers. Actually they are simply cool weather blooms, the red anthuriums having become synonymous with the holidays. Now all colors are used in holiday decor.
The Anthurium is a flowering plant also known as tailflower, flamingo flower and laceleaf. It is native to the Americas but more widely known throughout Mexico to Argentina and the Caribbean.
While red anthuriums enjoyed popularity for many many years, hybrids are now available in pink, white, green and combinations of these colors. The anthurium grows in cooler months so has gained wide popularity as a holiday plant. Of course, the red anthurium started that tradition. Those who love anthuriums readily accepted the colors variations as well.
The artist, Mary Deal, is also an award-winning author of mystery/thrillers, a short story collection and writers' reference books. Read about it here:
