Chilli Pod Looking Red Flower is an Anthurium

Ask the Expert: Do you know what the plant I describe is?

Have a small plant that was originally part of an arrangement.  Has been replanted into its own pot.  Grows slowly.  Had for a few years. This year October it started to grow a few (3 or 4 so far) red pod like “flowers” for lack of a better word.  The leaves are grass green and large. It looks like each one is on a separate stem like a shrub. The pods looks like a rolled up bigger flower more than like a chili pod, but are bright red. Kinda open in the back of each pod. Stems are thick.   What do I have? Joanne

  1. Joanne,

    I believe you have some type of anthurium. This is used both as a houseplant and the blooms are used as cut flowers for floral arrangements. Sometimes this flower is called Flamingo flower. I have a previous post about caring for anthurium. The post has a picture of the bloom when it is fully open. Yours is in a very early stage of blooming. The bloom will actually unfold into a wide heart shaped flower.
