This is a real picture, not photoshopped in any way!
No it didnt come from Pandora Apparently its growing in a private garden in Panama at 2000m ASL but was originally collected from Andean highland rainforest in Columbia. Its supposedly unidentified but possibly Anthurium metallicum. Coming from such a highland provenance it makes me wonder how cool tolerant it is.
It certainly wouldnt grow in my lowland tropical garden, Ive tried a few highland Anthurium species here and all they do is slowly fade away, so unfortunately Ill never have one...
