My getting old Anthurium 'Florida'. Nice one to own with all the many dwarf Anthuriums out there. This heirloom cultivar I think it is.

They are another world of plants. Some of the big wild types are fantastic. Strictly for south Florida and even then cold waves damage them,kill some I hear.
The few from high mountains are worth a try. I have A.andicola and its easy outdoors. The flower is kind of dull..but nice arrow foliage.

The large-leaf species are usually the hardiest. I've had my Athurium 'Lazarz' since 2002 and it's does very well outside in the shade.
Here's a pic from about 10 years ago. It still looks very good.

I've never heard of Anthurium andicola. I'll have to check it out.

I like that. Its not around any longer?
A.andicola has very variable foliage. I would love to get the one that has the big heart shaped leaves. Right now I have the more common Arrow like leaves..looks very much like a Philodendron. Its hardy down to the 20's.

No, I don't think it's available anymore. Anthurium 'Lazarz' was hybridized by the owner of Rancho Soledad's daughter. I think it was limited. My friend and I purchased one during a visit out to Rancho Soledad Nurseries back in 2002. My friend said his is still thriving on neglect. My plant doesn't get much attention, either. It's a very tough Anthurium.

It loves the spot! I love Anthuriums!
Unfortunately, I don't have any...they only live about 10 years and then decline here. They do grow very well outside here, though.
