INTERLACED, ANTHURIUMS...

 

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

 

Paul offered me these beauties.

 

I really get annoyed when people use the worn cliché, that a man only gives flowers if he has done something 'wrong', if he needs forgiving! I'm sick and tired of it, plus I find it most unfair to men. Many give flowers just to say, I care, I love you, thank you...

 

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.

 

Thank you for your comments and time, M, (*_*)
