Description
Dorayaki is a popular dessert in Japan that is comparable to our pancakes. And because the round leaves of this pretty Anthurium crystallinum hybrid reminded its cultivator of this, he named the plant after it. The attractive silver veining of these leaves stands out particularly well on their pancake-sized surface, making the plant a decorative collector's item.
