The Anthurium, aka the Tail Flower, Flamingo Flower, or Laceleaf, is the worlds longest blooming houseplant, with blooms lasting up to eight weeks! Generally found in the wild across the warmest parts of South America and the Caribbean, the Anthurium is one of the most striking houseplants. The vivid red, pink, yellow and other colours are not actually its flower, but a spathe – a brightly coloured leaf! The actual flowers are tiny little things on the spike in the middle of the spathe.
