Macro Monday - Red Anthurium

Anthuriums are popular for their bright waxy blooms and shiny leaves. They last a long time as cut flowers but exude a sap that can irritate the skin. The bloom is actually a type of leaf that grows around the flower spike in the center. They are so bright and shiny that they are often assumed to be artificial.
