The Anthurium is also known as Flamingo Flower, Painted Tongue, Flamingo Lily or Tail Flower.
Anthuriums are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and their ornamental leaves.
The heart-shaped flower of Anthuriums is really a spathe or a waxy,
modified leaf flaring out from the base of a fleshy spike (spadix) where the tiny real flowers grow.
The anthurium flowers appear as a roughness on the spadix as compared to a smooth spadix.
In Greek, the name Anthurium means tail flower.
