Surprise - A New Anthurium!

Most people know what an Anthurium flower is… maybe not by name but by sight. Some call it the Anthurium the “Flamingo flower” or one of those tropical flowers from Hawaii. Whatever you call it the Anthurium has long been associated with “tropical” flower arrangements for years, but over the last 15 years or so it’s become a potted house plant. Many new varieties which do better in pots and flower more often then their “cut flower” cousins can be found at nurseries and garden centers.

However, a new Anthurium will be hitting the market soon and it’s a “Surprise”! Actually the name is Anthurium “Suprise” and what makes it different is that the flowers or spathes are both red and white.

To add to the “Surprise” this patent pending beauty produces flower where no two flowers are alike with the mottled or speckled dark red to light pick and white colors. Each flower creates its own unique pattern of beauty.

Keep on the look out for Anthurium “Surprise” coming to a garden center near you!
