Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Does anyone grow Anthurium hookeri?, 1 by ExoticRainforest

All birds nest Anthurium produce convolute new leaves. The only difference in supervolute and convolute vernation is convolute vernation occurs when several leaves spiral with the next leaf in a module enclosed within the current leaf. I realize this is difficult to understand but look at the leaf in the photo as well as the diagram in this post. I had to stare at the drawing for over a week before my brain could finally see the difference. Look closely at convolute and you will see the next leaf to emerge in the drawing.
