Denis Rotolante wrote on 2009-09-11: This black spathed anthurium is not an A. watermaliense. The spathe is too broad and the spadix is curved in a relaxed sort of way. This is perhaps the famous 'Black Anthurium', a member of the Calomystrium Group with the andraeanum types. It originates high in the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains in Colombia and does not do well in sub tropical & tropical sea level environments. It will hybridize with other Calomystrium types if you can get it to grow in your greenhouse and flower. |
