Since the weather is seemingly unending, we wanted to bring you along to sunny Kona, Hawaii, where our shop owner Lugene visited an Anthurium grower. Here's what she found out.
1. Anthuriums are varied
The most iconic Anthurium is the bright, shiny red bloom, but there are actually several different colors available. Sizes also vary from tiny flowers that fit into your palm to enormous blooms as big as your head!
2. The growing process is unique
Anthuriums have a root system similar to air plants, so they grow best after being rooted in volcanic dirt. To preserve productivity, individual plants are culled if they don't produce at least 6 blooms at once.
The grower also had a variety of Ginger flowers-another tropical favorite. Pictured are the classic red as well as a green 'rattlesnake' variety.
We hope visions of flowers in Hawaii will keep you warm this week. DON'T FORGET: Valentine's Day is NEXT WEEK!!!Place your order now for the best selection of flowers and guaranteed delivery.
