The Quilted Anomaly of Colombia

Well, this rather splendid specimen, Anthurium luxurians 'Variegata', always brings a wry smile to my face. One doesn't often find such a glorious genetic caprice, does one? While the species hails from the humid forests of Colombia, this particular variegated form is carefully maintained in specialist cultivation. Its heart-shaped leaves are magnificently thick and heavily bullate, giving them a wonderfully quilted, almost metallic surface. Then you have the variegation – cream, buttery yellow, or even minty green sectors dance across the dark bronze-green, making it utterly distinct. Despite the cost of receving it, what's a bit of financial imprudence when faced with such botanical marvel? One almost forgets the drafty glasshouse, until the tea goes cold, naturally.
