A Guide To Anthurium Flowers

By Zeke Morganstern


Anthurium plants appear in lots of unique species. Were you aware that one can find well over eight hundred kinds of anthuriums? If you should start looking with enough diligence, you will see that they can appear in almost any shade of the rainbow, and in addition they come in various dimensions from only an inch to just about 1 foot or so long. Here are several of the more popular kinds.

Obake anthurium flowers come in a variety of colors from pastel pink and greens to vibrant red and green combinations. "Obake" means ghost in Japanese and these flowers have an ethereal quality, as they are often quite large, and no two have exactly the same blend of colors. In spite of its name, there is definitely nothing scary concerning this type of anthurium.

Tulip anthurium blossoms tend to come in the shape of tulips. They're typically more compact in size, plus they are available in a huge selection of colours, such as: white-colored, purple, light red, red-colored, lavender and green. In contrast to almost all other types of anthurium that are scentless, a few types of tulip anthuriums actually have a satisfying fragrance.

The Midori is an anthurium bloom which comes in an incredibly desirable hue of green. Midori means green in Japanese and shares its name with a very well liked brand of green hued melon alcohol. It is a medium sized flower and it is one of the longer lasting varieties. Unlike a rose which will only last a few days, Midori anthuriums have been known to last up to a month after being cut.

As you have seen, anthurium blossoms can be found in numerous forms, dimensions and colours. The most wonderful point is anthurium farmers are continuing to generate many more brand new types with richer hues, bigger blossoms as well as lengthier shelf lives. It appears that there's no restriction as to what farmers can come up with. It appears that eight hundred types are only the start.
