This collection features Anthurium hybrids and selections connected to Ree Gardens, founded by Marie Nock and her husband, a historically influential source of rare tropical aroids.
Ree Gardens played a significant role in the cultivation, hybridization, and distribution of distinctive Anthurium forms within collector communities.
Many modern breeding lines trace genetic provenance to material grown or introduced through Ree Gardens, including selections associated with legendary Florida-based plant explorer and hybridizer John Banta, whose work helped shape the cultivation and understanding of rare Anthurium species.
We were fortunate to meet Marie before the nursery closed and were able to select several of the mother plants that now contribute to our breeding program.
These plants represent living lineage from one of the most respected sources of rare Anthurium genetics in modern cultivation. Ree Gardens remains one of the most special nurseries we have ever had the privilege to visit.
Most collector Anthuriums prefer:
Bright, indirect light
High humidity (60%+ ideal)
Chunky, well-draining substrate
Consistent airflow
Stable temperatures
Growing & Care for Rare Anthuriums
We recommend a coarse, airy substrate designed for epiphytic aroids. Our Anthurium soil blends are available separately and are formulated for root health and aeration.
Proper conditions will enhance velvet texture, venation clarity, and emergent coloration.

Rare & Collector-Grade Anthurium Plants
Our Anthurium collection focuses on rare, collector-grade genetics selected for distinctive foliage, high quality, Collector lineage , and breeding potential. See our mother plants here.
These are not mass-produced tissue culture plants. Many are one of a kind, seed-grown hybrids and carefully selected crosses featuring Papillilaminum, Crystallinum, Magnificum, Warocqueanum, Swampmannii, Rotundatum, Portillae, Doc Block, Silver Krome, Ree Gardens and Tim Anderson lines.
Collector Anthuriums are valued for:
- Veining, form, and distinctiveness
- Dark emergent & robust growth
- Hybrid vigor and phenotype variation
- Exact provenance, Strong lineage documentation
- Limited availability
Each plant is established, well-rooted, and grown in our New Orleans greenhouse.
We release plants in small batches to maintain high quality genetic diversity and plant quality.
Seed-Grown Anthurium Hybrids & Genetic Lineage
We prioritize seed-grown Anthurium hybrids because they produce stronger root systems, greater variation, and more unique phenotype expression compared to cloned stock.
Many of our crosses include:
Papillilaminum
Crystallinum
Swampmannii
Portillae
Rotundatum
Tim Anderson, SKG and Doc Block selections
Seed-grown plants offer collectors the opportunity to own genetically distinct individuals rather than identical clones. Each cross is selected for form, venation , emergent coloration, and long-term breeding value.
