Anthurium plants, commonly known as Flamingo Flowers or Laceleaf, are popular houseplants known for their striking, glossy leaves and vibrant, heart-shaped flowers (technically called spathes). These plants are native to tropical regions of the Americas and are prized for their long-lasting blooms and unique appearance.

Common Types of Anthurium
