Dark Tropics 'Rare-Plant' Collection

My affinity for caring and collecting plants originally first started as a means of adding some greenery to my work area as a reminder to get up and water the plants and doing so also helped re-connect my memory of my mom who passed in 2012 to cancer as well as my aunt in 2021 also to cancer. They were both very fond of caring for plants as my mom primarily tended to orchids while my aunt was a florist for most of her later years and tended to California native species. My rare-plant journey has taken me from a simple monstera to over 180+ plant genuses which eventually settled to about 120 now with 80% of them being "Anthuriums". Here is my curated collection of Anthuriums I am currently in awe of due to how beautiful the new leaves grow and how different each plant looks genetically.
