Anthurium Hawaii T-Shirt

Anthurium looks like a flower that someone painted and forgot to dull down — a single waxy heart-shaped spathe in deep red or pink, with a slender spadix curling out of the center.

The Story Behind the Anthurium

Anthurium andraeanum was introduced to Hawai'i in 1889 from Colombia, and the windward Big Island around Hilo turned out to have ideal growing conditions — warm, wet, partial shade — so much so that Hawai'i became one of the world's leading commercial growers of anthurium for decades. The flower is often called a "flamingo flower" or "heart flower," and its long vase life (often four to six weeks) made it a favorite for ʻohana gatherings, hotel arrangements, and exported floral shipments to the mainland.

For Flower Lovers & Gardeners

For locals, it's the cut flower that lasts long enough to be passed between two households. For visitors, it's the heart-shaped bloom you couldn't stop noticing in every hotel lobby and farmers market table.
