In the reference 7 varieties crop Flamingo flower, where this is mentioned in the description.

The main distinctive feature of the Anthurium scherzerianum spadix is its twisted, spiral, or curved shape. The length of the organ typically varies from 2 to 8 cm with a diameter of about 4 mm in the middle part. A length exceeding 10 cm for this species is considered atypical and may indicate a hybrid origin.

The color of the spadix can be white, yellow, orange, red-orange, or mauve. In breeding and variety testing, the shape and contrasting color of the spadix relative to the spathe determine the ornamental value of the plant, and the condition of the inflorescence is an important indicator of variety quality.
