Just outside Panama City Beach, FL, there's a little mom & pop nursery. The folks there are super nice and the greenhouse is simply a little slice of Heaven. There's no other way to put it. I visited them last year and was thrilled, but my joy was crushed when they informed me they would be closing in October of last year. I kept hope alive and looked them up and called when we arrived this year. They had decided to remain open (YAY!!!), but cut way back on the trees and shrubs they were selling. Fine with me, as everything I buy has to ride home in the trunk of the car, so no trees and shrubs for me anyway.
My birthday and Mother's Day fell on the same weekend, so my sweet family sucked it up and took me to the nursery. :o) As soon as I walked in the greenhouse, this is what greeted me! I've looked for one of these for ages, but have never even seen one in real life. I thought it was a Crystal Anthurium (Anthurium crystallinum), but after looking in the PF, I think it's Anthurium clarinervium. Either way, I think it's gorgeous and I'm thrilled to have it. I bought the smallest one she had because of my space limitations. Some of them were huge.
