Anthurium veitchii

Description

The King Anthurium, aptly named so due to its long glossy foliage. Native to the shady and humid forests in Colombia, this epiphyte can produce leaves that are over a metre long, emerging from a thin stem. The most distinct feature of Anthurium veitchii is the deep venation along the leaves, creating a ribbed texture on the glossy green surface. It’s completely mesmerising.
