THE ANTHURIUM DUEL…
Back to back they are standing… Who will win?
A l’Armes.
Always trying new compositions/emotions.
Anthuriums are a fun flower and never fail to provoke a smile.
They look almost unreal! The flowers are thick, shiny, ribbed and wrinkled, while the leaves are large and glossy, which makes them so much more difficult to photograph well!
They belong to the Araceae family, which also includes callas and philodendrons.
Their genus name, Anthurium, comes from the Greek words anthos meaning "flower," and oura, meaning "tail."
Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.
Anthurium, the flowers are hermaphrodite, containing male and female flowers.
Very waxy, thus very shiny, thus very 'reflective', thus not easy to light correctly...
Quite a whimsical flower. So, not one. but two!
Yes I do love a challenge!
Thanx, Magda (*_*)
