This capability for freshness is a unique feature enjoyed by Anthuriums International Inc and our customers. The first product marketed by Anthuriums International was the Anthurium which is available in over 45 different colors and 7 sizes. This represents a significant opportunity to offer customers a broad range of new products presently not available to them. The flower consists of a relatively stiff, waxy colorful leaf called the spathe usually in the shape of a heart of arrow. The typical vase life can vary from 14-28 days with some new varieties lasting as long as 44 days.
Anthuriums are available year round with limited availability of certain varieties during the year.
Most wholesalers carry a variety with a greenish outer sheath which encloses orange outer petals and deep blue inner petals. The flowers grow atop tall 2-4 feet stalks with a large bloom resembling the head of a tropical bird. Generally, vase life can be between 7-14 days and is available year round. Anthuriums International also offers an uncommon variety rarely seen by most florists. It is usually priced at 6-10 times the price of a regular Bird of Paradise.
