It's native to tropical America, from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay. They are grown for their attractive flowering bracts which are popular with the cut flower trade. All parts of the plant, are poisonous. If ingested, may cause mild stomach disorders. Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial. The leaves are often clustered and are variable in shape. The inflorescence bears small flowers which are perfect, containing male and female structures. The flowers are contained in dense spirals on the spadix. The spadix is often elongated into a spike shape, but it can be globe-shaped or club-shaped. Beneath the spadix is the spathe, a type of bract. This is variable in shape, as well, but it is lance-shaped in many species. It may extend out flat or in a curve. Sometimes it covers the spadix like a hood. The fruits develop from the flowers on the spadix. They are juicy berries varying in color, usually containing two seeds. 31874

I don't have a common name for this plant. Seen for sale in a supermarket. I didn't buy one, but the flower is beautiful.

Thanks for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

A single petal, wrapped around? Several petals, fused into one? Not sure. Taken from the flower beds around the church we attend.

Spathiphyllum is a genus of about 40 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. Certain species of Spathiphyllum are commonly known as spath or peace lilies. They are evergreen herbaceous perennial plants with large leaves 12–65 cm long and 3–25 cm broad. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a 10–30 cm long, white, yellowish, or greenish spathe. The plant does not need large amounts of light or water to survive. Several species are popular indoor houseplants. It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive, and is watered approximately once a week. Several species are popular indoor houseplants. It lives best in shade and needs little sunlight to thrive, and is watered approximately once a week. The soil is best left moist but only needs watering if the soil is dry. The NASA Clean Air Study found that Spathiphyllum cleans indoor air of certain environmental contaminants, including benzene and formaldehyde. Although it is called a lily, the peace lily is not a true lily from the family Liliaceae. True lilies are highly toxic (poisonous) to cats and dogs, but the peace lily, spathiphyllum is only mildly toxic to humans and animals when ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause skin irritation, a burning sensation in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and nausea, but it does not contain the toxins found in true lilies, which could cause acute kidney failure in cats and some other animals. 13140

Epipremnum aureum is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Mo'orea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. The species is a popular houseplant in temperate regions, but has also become naturalised in tropical and sub-tropical forests worldwide, including northern Australia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Pacific Islands and the West Indies, where it has caused severe ecological damage in some cases. The plant has a multitude of common names including golden pothos, Ceylon creeper, hunter's robe, ivy arum, house plant, money plant, silver vine, Solomon Islands ivy, marble queen, and taro vine. It is also called devil's vine or devil's ivy because it is almost impossible to kill and it stays green even when kept in the dark. It is sometimes mistakenly labeled as a Philodendron in plant stores. It is commonly known as money plant in many parts of the Indian subcontinent. It rarely flowers without artificial hormone supplements; the last known spontaneous flowering was reported in 1964. 31069

Anthurium polyschistum est une espèce de la famille des aracées.

With more than 1000 species, the Anthurium plants are beautiful but toxic. The plant has toxic properties that can irritate the mouth, throat and intestinal tract if eaten, so it should be kept out of reach of pets and children. It can also cause an allergic reaction if the sap comes in contact with the skin.

Arum maculatum

SN/NC: Lysichiton camtschatcensis, Araceae Family

The White Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) is a striking perennial plant native to parts of Asia. It is not a true lily but belongs to the Araceae family, making it a botanical cousin of the Peace Lily and Anthurium. Its most prominent feature is the large, pure white, shell-shaped spathe that emerges in early spring, which surrounds a pale yellow spadix. This is followed by the appearance of enormous, glossy green leaves that can form a spectacular clump. Unlike its American relative, its scent is often very faint. It thrives in boggy, wet soils and is a magnificent sight in woodland gardens or at the edge of ponds.

A Couve-cheirosa-branca (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) é uma planta perene impressionante, nativa de partes da Ásia. Não é um lírio verdadeiro, mas pertence à família Araceae, sendo prima botânica do Lírio-da-paz e da Antúrio. Sua característica mais marcante é a espata grande, branca e em forma de concha que surge no início da primavera, envolvendo um espádice amarelo-pálido. Após a floração, aparecem folhas enormes, verdes e brilhantes que formam uma touceira espetacular. Diferente de seu parente americano, seu odor é geralmente muito suave. Ela prospera em solos pantanosos e úmidos, sendo uma visão magnífica em jardins de floresta ou à beira de lagos.

La Col fétida blanca (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) es una llamativa planta perenne nativa de partes de Asia. No es un lirio verdadero, sino que pertenece a la familia Araceae, lo que la convierte en prima botánica del Espatifilo y el Anturio. Su característica más prominente es la espata grande, blanca y con forma de concha que emerge a principios de primavera, rodeando un espádice amarillo pálido. Tras la floración, aparecen unas hojas enormes, verdes y brillantes que pueden formar una mata espectacular. A diferencia de su pariente americano, su aroma suele ser muy leve. Crece mejor en suelos pantanosos y húmedos, y es una vista magnífica en jardines boscosos o al borde de estanques.

Il Cavolo puzzola bianco (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) è una pianta perenne straordinaria, originaria di alcune zone dell'Asia. Non è un vero giglio, ma appartiene alla famiglia delle Araceae, il che lo rende un cugino botanico dello Spatifillo e dell'Anturio. La sua caratteristica più evidente è la spata grande, bianca pura e a forma di conchiglia che emerge all'inizio della primavera, avvolgendo uno spadice giallo pallido. Dopo la fioritura, compaiono foglie enormi, verdi e lucide che possono formare un cespo spettacolare. A differenza del suo parente americano, il suo profumo è spesso molto tenue. Prospera in terreni paludosi e umidi ed è una vista magnifica nei giardini boschivi o in riva a stagni.

Le Lysichiton blanc (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) est une plante vivace remarquable originaire de certaines régions d'Asie. Ce n'est pas un vrai lys, mais il appartient à la famille des Aracées, ce qui en fait un cousin botanique du Spathiphyllum et de l'Anthurium. Sa caractéristique la plus marquante est le grand spathe blanc pur en forme de coquille qui émerge au début du printemps, entourant un spadice jaune pâle. Il est suivi par l'apparition de feuilles immenses, vertes et brillantes qui peuvent former une touffe spectaculaire. Contrairement à son parent américain, son parfum est souvent très discret. Il prospère dans les sols marécageux et humides et offre un spectacle magnifique dans les jardins boisés ou au bord des étangs.

De Witte skunkkool (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) is een opvallende vaste plant, inheems in delen van Azië. Het is geen echte lelie, maar behoort tot de Araceae-familie, waardoor het een botanische neef is van de Lepelplant en de Anthurium. Het opvallendst is het grote, zuiver witte, schelpvormige schutblad (spatha) dat in het vroege voorjaar tevoorschijn komt en een bleekgele kolf (spadix) omgeeft. Hierna verschijnen enorme, glanzende groene bladeren die een spectaculaire pol kunnen vormen. In tegenstelling tot zijn Amerikaanse verwant is de geur vaak zeer zwak. Hij gedijt het best in drassige, natte grond en is een prachtige aanblik in bosachtige tuinen of aan de rand van vijvers.

Der Weiße Scheinkalla (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) ist eine auffällige, ausdauernde Pflanze, die in Teilen Asiens heimisch ist. Sie ist keine echte Lilie, sondern gehört zur Familie der Aronstabgewächse (Araceae), was sie zu einem botanischen Verwandten des Einblatts und des Anthuriums macht. Ihr auffälligstes Merkmal ist die große, schneeweiße, muschelförmige Spatha, die im frühen Frühjahr erscheint und einen blassgelben Spadix umgibt. Danach erscheinen enorme, glänzend grüne Blätter, die einen spektakulären Bestand bilden können. Im Gegensatz zu ihrem amerikanischen Verwandten ist ihr Geruch oft sehr dezent. Sie gedeiht in sumpfigem, feuchtem Boden und ist ein prächtiger Anblick in Waldgärten oder am Teichrand.

الكرنب النّٰتن الأبيض (Lysichiton camtschatcensis) هو نبات معمر لافت موطنه أجزاء من آسيا. إنه ليس زنبقاً حقيقياً، بل ينتمي إلى الفصيلة القلقاسية (Araceae)، مما يجعله ابن عم نباتي لزنبقة السلام والأنثوريوم. أبرز سماته هي النّٰورة الغلافية الكبيرة البيضاء النقية التي تظهر في أوائل الربيع، محيطة بالنورة الزهرية الشاحبة. تليها الأوراق الخضراء اللامعة الضخمة التي يمكن أن تشكل كتلة مذهلة. على عكس قريبه الأمريكي، غالبًا ما تكون رائحته خفيفة جدًا. يزدهر في التربة المُستنقعية الرطبة، وهو مشهد رائع في الحدائق الحرَجية أو على حافة البرك.

ハナザゼンショウ（Lysichiton camtschatcensis）は、アジアの一部が原産の見事な多年草です。本当のユリではなく、サトイモ科に属し、スパティフィラムやアンスリウムの植物学的な近縁種です。最も顕著な特徴は、早春に現れる純白で貝殻のような形の大きな仏炎苞（ぶつえんほう）で、中央の淡黄色の肉穂花序（にくすいかじょ）を包みます。花の後には、光沢のある巨大な緑の葉が現れ、壮観な群落を形成します。アメリカの近縁種とは異なり、その香りは非常に微かなことが多いです。湿地や湿った土壌でよく育ち、森林風の庭園や池の縁で見るのが素晴らしい光景です。

白臭菘（Lysichiton camtschatcensis）是一种引人注目的多年生植物，原产于亚洲部分地区。它并非真正的百合，而是属于天南星科，这使得它在植物学上是白掌（和平百合）和红掌（安祖花）的表亲。其最显著的特征是早春时节出现的大型、纯白色、贝壳状的佛焰苞，包裹着淡黄色的肉穗花序。开花之后会出现巨大、光滑的绿色叶片，能形成壮观的丛簇。与其美洲近亲不同，它的气味通常非常微弱。它适宜生长在潮湿的沼泽土壤中，是林地花园或池塘边一道壮丽的风景。

Anthurium polyschistum est une espèce de la famille des aracées.

La Ceja, Colombia.

Anthurium has neotropical distribution; mostly in wet tropical mountain forest of Central and South America. The spathe may be a single color (yellow, green, or white) or possibly multicolored including burgundy and red. That sometimes colorful, solitary spathe is a showy modified bract.
