Anthurium Jenmanii craze
I’m back from Eid-ul Fitr holiday vacation to my grandparents’ home town in Magelang & Solo.
There’s always a new business trend over there, from there I knew that currently Indonesian people are crazy over collecting Anthurium, particularly Anthurium Jenmanii, where the price of the small plant (that’s just grew from a seed) is determined by the amount of leaf (1 leaf started at about 11$)
I read at a nursery tabloid that there’s a big Anthurium Jenmanii that worth over than 1 million Rupiah, that’s like… slightly more than 100.000 USD!!!
and there are more expensive ones of this kind @_@
I read in American forums that this craze only happens in South East Asia, particularly Indonesia!
Anthurium jenmanii, What in the world is going on?
Anthurium jenmanii…..what’s going on with this one?
They (Americans) don’t understand this condition, me neither @_@
Following the trend, my dad and my sister bought 2 small Anthurium Gelombang Cinta (Wave of Love) and a small Anthurium Golok (Coriaceum) for about 6$ each, they’re planning to keep it for a year.
Actually, she wanted to buy a small Anthurium Jenmanii with 2 leaves, but the seller won’t give it for less than 38$ ^^;
*sighs* i still don’t understand what’s so great about this Anthurium Jenmanii… do you?

something like this happened centuries ago with tulip bulbs.

People still don’t learn.
“In 1623, a single bulb of a famous tulip variety could cost as much as a thousand Dutch florins (the average yearly income at the time was 150 florins).”
