Tim Anderson Lineage Anthuriums

This collection features Anthurium hybrids and selections connected to plants originating from the collection of Tim Anderson, one of the most influential figures in modern Anthurium cultivation and breeding. Tim’s influence extends across the collector world and can still be seen in many important modern lines, including work that informed later breeding associated with Doc Block.

Tim Anderson operated Palm Hammock Orchid Estate in South Florida, where he cultivated a wide range of tropical ornamentals including orchids, begonias, crotons, and aroids. Through Tim's work, Palm Hammock became an important source of Anthurium material that continues to shape the trade today.

At Palm Hammock, Tim developed early Anthurium hybrids that helped define the direction of modern velvet-leaf breeding. His hybrid Anthurium ‘Wonder Boy’ is widely recognized as one of the earliest velvet-leaf Anthuriums to exhibit red veining and reddish emergent foliage, traits that later breeders continued to refine and expand. Tim’s Black and Tim’s Stripey remain among the most sought-after plants in cultivation.

Many plants circulating among collectors today trace lineage to material grown, selected, or distributed through Palm Hammock. These selections highlight Anthuriums carrying Tim Anderson genetics, valued for some of the most exceptional source material in the trade.

This collection includes seed-grown hybrids and breeding projects connected to Tim Anderson material that we spent years trading for and acquiring.
