Word on the street is laceleaf plants, commonly known as anthuriums, have lately been making eye-catching appearances in the chicest of places. Be it an uber-cool coffee shop or a gorgeous furnishing store, these plants don't discriminate in their fashion.
Our New York-based style editor Julia Demer, whose taste we trust implicitly, says it's a flower that's really setting a new direction for floral design. "I think what's unique about the anthurium is that there actually hasn't been a 'cool' flower like this before," Julia says. "I think that its popularity comes down to challenging the notion that flowers are stuffy and fancy, whereas anthuriums feel artistic and maybe a little bit edgy. They're sort of a subversive take on the blooms your mom might have brought home from the market."
