WORLD'S LONGEST BLOOMING PLANT

in #beauty7 years ago (edited)

Heart shaped flower

Anthurium


I had never heard of this type of plant, Anthurium, or the claim of longest blooming. But when I saw it, I thought my wife would enjoy this for Valentines Day because the blooms look like red hearts. Also, I prefer potted plants over cut flowers, and Martha has enough orchids. So I picked out this unusual plant with the "longest blooming" claim to fame.

Anthurium facts

After getting it home I did some research and found that Anthurium is native to the America's. Another feature, 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.

Martha loves this new plant and it looks good in the window!!

Thanks for visiting

Nice choice for Valentine's day!

I love these flowers, and I also prefer potted flower over cut flowers because they last way longer.
I didn't know the name or nothing about these flowers, so thanks for sharing Papa Bear.

Have a lovely day

The flowers look beautiful. Bright red colours with a touch of yellow is just to romantic and match for Valentine. How can I get one

The plant looks so cute. I hope your wife loves it more. I love house plants. Some day, you can gift me one :p :p

I would love to do that!! Hugs!! x0x0x

We have plenty of those flowers in the Philippines, papa bear. So popular for table centerpiece because of its long bloom life. The white colors are a favorite for wedding bouquets and aisle decors. Truly beautiful in shape.

A heart-shaped flower for a very kind couple! :)
Perfect combination! :D
