Name Origin:
The Delta portion of the name refers to the leaf shape, but "Delta Force", with its powerful image seemed like the perfect name.

Epiphyte
Leaf Blade:
The velvet leaf is a medium-dark green color with contrasting veins that follow the shape of the leaf.
The leaf shape is triangular with a flat sinus and has a sharp narrow point at the apex.
Bloom and Fruit:
The spathe is lanceolate, yellow-green, semi-glossy and weakly red tinged.
The spadix is cylindroid-tapered, pale green-yellow at apex, pink at the base and turning purple in anthesis.
The fruit is orange, containing large seeds.
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Anthurium 'Delta Force' was one of the earliest triangular shaped hybrids. Many have attempted to replicate the 'Delta Force' cross but all attempts have failed.
