This large Anthurium villenaorum is an extraordinary and highly sought-after species that I'm absolutely thrilled to offer, known for its stunning bullate (puckered) leaves and remarkable texture that sets it apart from other Anthuriums. This exceptional plant produces thick, heavily textured foliage with a distinctive quilted appearance, where the leaf surface appears deeply embossed between the prominent veining, creating an almost three-dimensional sculptural effect.
