Anthurium flavolineatum

I got a nice little anthurium a couple years ago: Anthurium flavolineatum. It's one of the few anthuriums which are notable for both their foliage and flower. The flower is quite showy for an Anthurium - dark colored and artistically striped. The leaves are also nicely shaped, and the plant is a small one.
There's not too much information on this species out there on the net. Appears to be from Ecuador. I've found mine to grow well under the moderately tropical conditions of my greenhouse - minimum temperature has been about 65F. It was unhappy when allowed to get too dry, but has otherwise grown and flowered well, and from a small size.
