arriano, that Pearl Diver garnish sure appears to be the flowering part of the Anthurium, also known as the tailflower or flamingo flower...

*** WARNING ***

All parts of the Anthurium plant reportedly contain calcium oxalate crystals. The needle-shaped crystals can irritate the skin, mouth, tongue, and throat, resulting in throat swelling, breathing difficulties, burning pain, and stomach upset. The toxicity warnings posted on the internet are primarily targeted for animals, but should in principle apply to people as well, so treat this plant as toxic to eat.
