anthurium
Heart-shaped tropical bloom
Anthurium is a tropical plant prized for its distinctive flowers—a waxy, heart-shaped spathe (usually red, pink, or white) surrounding a narrow spike.
Popular as houseplants and in floral arrangements, anthuriums thrive in humid conditions: The anthurium on her desk added a splash of color to the office.
