New ones flowering

Anthurium scherzerianum - Flamingo flower or Pig tail anthurium. First time it has flowered for me since we bought it a couple of months ago. It is supposed to be an orange colour but looks redder in the photos, also the spadix (the sticky out thing) is supposed to curl a bit more hence the common name pig tail. It might curl more as it gets older.




Eucharis amazonica. This one isn't new, I've had them for a while but it hasn't flowered for quite a while since I split them up ages ago.

Mine has never flowered , repotted the bulbs the other day and fingers crossed again

Cheryl, read this about the eucharist lily

Thanks Gail been doing it all wrong LOL

Gail both beautiful flowers. interesting read on the 2nd bulb.

Lovely flowers, Gail. My E. lily flowered this year for the first time...that info is interesting re induced flowering.

Thanks. I didn't know about inducing flowers either until I came across the info a few months ago. Mine used to flower off and on without any special treatment but I had to split it up as it was getting too pot bound.

Both pretty.

Thanks.

Nice Anth Gail, they are a great species, I think I lost mine the same as yours and another mottled hybrid.
As in lost I mean they are dead, not cant be found lol, but they may come back. I made the mistake of throwing my 'dead' aroids away, and have now learned to keep the pots, as they have a chance of coming back, even if only minimally with Anthuriums...

That's a shame Ed. When mine gets big enough I'll save a piece for you... be a while though as it isn't very big yet.

I've found that philos and similar are good at coming back to life
