A - Anthurium

Wow... we are now on the 7th round of ABC Wednesday, how cool is that? In the three years that this meme has been going, I have attempted to complete all the entries, but then things happened and I still haven't completed a round yet. Hopefully I can do it this round.

This is my third time to go thematic on my posts, and for this round, I am going with flowers.




For letter A, I was thinking of sharing an amaryllis, but all the red amaryllis on file were already posted here in my blog, and although I had pictures of white amaryllis with pale pink streaks, I focused more on the bee trying to cling on its stamen rather than the flower itself, so for this letter, I'd go with anthurium, also known as the Flamingo Lily.

We have about two pots of the anthurium in our house and both are the pink ones. Very generous plant to have at least 3 flowers coming out at the same time, although we really need to trim the plant or transfer them in a bigger pot because the roots are already taking up all the space and that the flowers are now quite smaller than it used to.

This picture was taken sometime in 2009, when the flowers were still quite big.
