I tell you the story, my friend's garden is a thickness for the great amounts floral and ferns that there is there, so looking for the perfect shot for the photo was very difficult, but with a lot of effort I could capture the images of the Flamingo flowers.

They are very beautiful flowers I have always liked it a lot since small, I feel when you see them that they should not be cut, and it is very rare to see them in vases, people feel that it is better that they are on their plants, that there is their right place.

From Wikipedia I obtained the following information:

Anthurium (/ænˈθjuːriəm/; Schott, 1829) is a genus of about 1,000 species of flowering plants, the largest genus of the arum family, Araceae.[3] General common names include anthurium, tailflower, flamingo flower, and laceleaf. The genus is native to the Americas, where it is distributed from northern Mexico to northern Argentina and parts of the Caribbean. Anthurium is a genus of herbs often growing as epiphytes on other plants. Some are terrestrial. The leaves are often clustered and are variable in shape. The inflorescence bears small flowers which are perfect, containing male and female structures. The flowers are contained in close together spirals on the spadix. The spadix is often elongated into a spike shape, but it can be globe-shaped or club-shaped. Beneath the spadix is the spathe, a type of bract. This is variable in shape, as well, but it is lance-shaped in many species. It may extend out flat or in a curve. Sometimes it covers the spadix like a hood. The fruits develop from the flowers on the spadix. They are juicy berries varying in color, usually containing two seeds

There were many flowers in their garden, almost all pink, but all had their differences, none were the same, some with the only open petal and others a bit closed, but it is a very peculiar flower, it has a mystery by its own form different from the rest of the flowers.
