I lusted after this anthurium for 2 seasons, watching it sell over and over on eBay from a vendor in HI for lots of money (more than I wanted to spend, LOL)
I finally got one as a trade and this is its first bloom.
Anthurium andreanum "Shibori"
Goth,
That thing is gawjus!
Looks like candy. Congratulations.
Wowsers! That has to be the most beautiful Anthurium I've ever seen! Pink has always been my favorite color and that bloom is Awesome!
That doesn't even look real. It is beautiful!!! It was well worth your wait!!!!!!!
I keep returning and looking at that gorgeous bloom! Looks like Peppermint!
Its the most unique one I have seen in years. I can;t wait til it gets really big and is loaded with blooms! Thanks all.
That one is special! I wish I had more luck with Anthuriums. I've had a few over the years (none as gorgeous as 'Shibori') and they live maybe two or three years and then all of a sudden take a nose dive until they get to looking so ratty that I throw them out.
Nice cultivar, and a rare one!
It's proper epithet is Anthurium x ferrierense 'Shibori', or simply Anthurium 'Shibori'.
Anthurium andraeanum is a wild species from Columbia and Ecuador.
Thanks for that correction! I will change my tag (so the squirrel will know what it is when he takes the tag, LOL)
It's always best to know the correct nomenclature, something I always
appreciate -- but it still doesn't help me find one of those!
Goth,
How do you grow yours? Like an adraeanum?
