Beware! I have had this beautiful red flamingo anthurium for six months now. She came with four beautiful red flowers which have since gone. I’ve been waiting to see if I would get more flowers and, unfortunately, the other day I cut off the largest branch because it had a dried tip and didn’t look very pretty. Once I had cut off the branch I turned it on end and, lo and behold, there was what looked like a red flower just beginning to creep up the bottom of the stem. That just killed me! If any of you are new to Anthuriums, like me, before you cut anything, look at the very bottom of the stem and see if there is any coming growth on this stem that would indicate a flower in the future. The photo shows the leaf I should’ve let grow, and there’s a 2 inch piece of the stem that shows the beginning of a red flower starting to grow. The dark spot on the bottom of the stem was red when I cut it. I’m sure that was the beginning of a new 🌺. 😩
