Summary
The flamingo flower (Anthurium andraeanum) comes from the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador, where it evolved glossy, heart-shaped 'flowers' — technically spathes, waxy modified leaves far longer-lasting than true petals. That's the anthurium's quiet appeal: in good, bright indirect light a healthy plant flowers in repeated flushes through much of the year, and with good care it can remain a long-lived houseplant. 'Champion' is a compact, exceptionally free-flowering series, and this cream form brings the calmest palette of the family — soft ivory spathes over deep green. Wipe the leaves now and then to keep their lacquered shine, water once the soil has dried out, and note that it's toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach.
