The Coral Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum), often called the “flamingo flower,” is prized for its glossy, vibrant coloring. Fun fact: Anthuriums are known as the world’s longest blooming houseplant — each bloom can last up to eight weeks! And new ones will pop up often. Another fun fact: Those “blooms” aren’t actual flowers, but a type of modified leaf structure called a spathe; the flowers are tiny blooms along the central spadix (the narrow yellow structure that emanates from the center of the bloom). Anthuriums flourish and bloom best in bright, indirect light.
