Dear Windy,

Nice mystery!   Try removing one or two of these structures and, using  a strong hand lense, dissect them carefully using an exacto knife.   Try to determine what their origin may be, if they may mutated flowers, or maybe mutated fruit/ seeds?
Have you sprayed any hormone liquids near to this plant??   Is it a newly purchased specimen??
If you can find no answer when you dissect, I`d place the whole spadix in alcohol and see if Tom Croat or any other taxonomist wants to or will take a look and try to determine the origin of these abnormal structures.   They may just be an artifact of a hybrid birds nest-type Anthurium.   Maybe Denis or Bill Rotalante has seen these on other plants??

Good Growing,

Julius
