Observations from the Field
15th October 1889. Anthurium forgetii is an anomaly, lacking the typical sinus of the genus. The leaves are completely peltate, a rounded dark green shield of velvety texture. It is a quiet, striking beauty that absorbs light like fine velvet cloth. Speculators are actively dividing imports from Colombia, creating a highly unstable secondary market for small offsets in the home counties.
