Anthurium ('AOS/ 'Tim's Black') x A. Portillae 'NSE Dewey Fisk Clone' (A12)

🌿 Anthurium ('AOS' / 'Tim’s Black') × A. portillae 'NSE Dewey Fisk Clone'

This bold pairing merges the brooding intensity of ‘Ace of Spades’ / ‘Tim’s Black’ lineage with the slender, glaucous traits of A. portillae 'NSE Dewey Fisk Clone’. The seed donor contributes a velvety black base with copper-to-burgundy undertones and defined pink veining, while the pollen donor introduces elongation and sheen with a firm midrib and subtle curvature.

🍃 Emergent Leaf Coloration

We estimate emergent leaves will display bronze to deep red tones with a potential flush of pink or copper along the veining, especially during early stages of expansion. Color transitions may deepen into smoky black, maroon, or steel green as leaves mature.

🌱 Stature & Form

The resulting seedlings are expected to inherit the heavy form of the seed donor with a chance for increased elongation from the A. portillae influence. Expect a strong central vein, a pronounced apex, and broad lobes that taper into a classic heart or shield shape.

🧬 Breeding Notes

Both parent lines represent refined genetics: ‘AOS / Tim’s Black’ is revered for its near-black coloration and velvety texture, while the 'Dewey Fisk Clone' of A. portillae is noted for structural stability and matte-to-satin sheen. This cross aims to enhance foliage drama while improving durability and leaf integrity. Emergent coloration was a key selection factor in this pairing.
