Carol,

It would be great if you could be fortunate enough to find a source for
Anthurium trinerve.  While I grew it, it always seems to be in bloom,
remained very compact and consistently set the most attractive light purple
fruit.

Best photo I can find is:

This photo does not show the mature purple fruit, but here is one that does:

it)

I would love to find a plant or seed for myself!
