    I noticed this unusual (to me) "flower" today at the markets. I had to have it!! I'm not really into A. andreanum hybrid's except for a few, but I did like this one. Is it usual to have 2 spathes on the same spadix??

    I don't know if it's normal, but those sure are nifty!

    Jim, there is nursery near my house that specializes in imported Anthuriums from Holland and there are several with "2 spathes in the same spadix"
    Cheers
