Anthurium ('AOS' SKG / 'Tim's Black' ) x (A. ‘Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag’ /A.’Tim's Black') (A69)

🌿 Anthurium 'AOS' / 'Tim’s Black' × A. Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag/Tim’s Black'
(Velvet Black Hybrid with Firsthand Tim Anderson Lineage)

This ultra-dark hybrid unites two heavily pigmented velvet lines from the Tim Anderson breeding legacy—combining the dramatic stature and leaf surface of 'Ace of Spades' / 'Tim’s Black' with the flat sinus, rich red emergents, and deep venation of 'Crystal Mag / Tim’s Black'. The result is a lineage-pure hybrid emphasizing Anderson’s vision of elegant, sculptural foliage with genetic depth and collector prestige.

🟥 Emergent Leaf Coloration
We estimate emergent leaves to unfurl in shades of dark copper, plum, or garnet, often with rosy midribs and golden-green margins. As leaves mature, they transition into dense black or charcoal green, developing soft velvet texture and sharp white or lime-colored venation.

📐 Stature & Form
This hybrid typically presents a broad, heart-shaped leaf with a slightly recurved apex and flat-to-fused sinus, echoing the 'Crystal Mag' lineage. Surfaces are velvety with subtle ribbing, and margins may develop mild ruffles in early growth stages. Petioles are upright, moderately thick, and support vertical structure with a statuesque presence.

🧬 Breeding Notes
This cross combines firsthand-collected Tim Anderson material on both sides, reinforcing genetic consistency and legacy preservation.

• ‘AOS’ / ‘Tim’s Black’ contributes dense pigmentation and structural leaf size.

• ‘Crystal Mag / Tim’s Black’ provides enhanced emergent coloration and a more symmetrical form.

Ideal for hybridizers and collectors looking to deepen velvet lines, preserve Anderson’s lineage, or explore pure dark-toned crosses with minimal veining fade.
