I tried to pollinate the one that bloomed for me in the spring (shown in
http://u1.netgate.net/~kk/Araceae/Anthurium/plowmanii.html), but without
success. I wasn't even sure where this beast had female flowers - as can
be seen in the photo, the pollen was produced on the lower portion of
the spadix. Just in case, I smeared it all over the other one, but
nothing took.
Come to think of it - would it be by any chance one of those plants that
change sex with maturity?
