spathiphyllumspathiphyllum
genusgenusElegant tropical plants characterized by their pristine white flowers, which consist of a distinctive hooded spathe surrounding a protruding spadix. These evergreen beauties produce glossy, lance-shaped leaves that grow in elegant clusters from the base of the plant.
Etymology
The name combines the Greek words 'spatha' meaning 'broad blade' or 'spathe,' and 'phyllon' meaning 'leaf,' referring to the distinctive blade-like bract that surrounds the flower spike.
Interesting fact!
The white flowers are not actually petals but modified leaves called spathes that protect the true tiny flowers clustered on the spadix, demonstrating nature's clever architectural design.
