Advertiser Staff

The University of Hawai'i College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources has named a new anthurium in celebration of the university's 100th anniversary. The cut flower and potted plant selection is named Centennial and commemorates a century of educational achievements, the university said.

The Centennial anthurium is a tulip-type flower, about 4.75 inches long and 2.5 inches wide that is colored white with green stripes where the green coloration is expected to become more prominent as the flower matures.

The green and white colors are representative of the university's colors.
