Anthurium 'Butterfly' ['Hoffmannii X'] x A. Tim Anderson 'Stripey Mag/Pap' (A63) (small)

🌿 Anthurium 'Butterfly' ['Hoffmannii X'] × A. Tim Anderson 'Stripey Mag/Pap'
(Ruffled Leaf × Velvet Stripe Lineage)

This elegant hybrid blends the ruffled, red-toned foliage of Anthurium 'Butterfly', a Nice Plants Good Pots selection descended from hoffmannii, with the velvety, dark leaves and pronounced stripe-like veining of the Tim Anderson 'Stripey Mag/Pap' line—known for its deep saturation and genetic depth. The result is a rich and highly dimensional cross that balances color, form, and texture.

🟥 Emergent Leaf Coloration
We expect emergent foliage to present in shades of copper, red-wine, or ruby bronze, especially early in development. As the leaf matures, it darkens into a near-black velvet with pale-to-white central veining, inherited from the Tim Anderson side. Some individuals may retain a subtle red undertone along the midrib and margin.

📐 Stature & Form
Leaf blades range from broad, heart-shaped to subtly ruffled, with a flat sinus and slightly recurved lobes. The ruffling is most visible in early stages and may soften as leaves expand. Petiole posture is upright to arching, with strong support and a robust tropical presence.

🧬 Breeding Notes
The ‘Stripey Mag/Pap’ lineage is known for its velvet texture, narrow sinus, and bold silver veining, while ‘Butterfly’, derived from hoffmannii, contributes red emergents, free-suckering behavior, and a soft ruffled margin. This cross captures the best of both lines: bold contrast with ornamental complexity. Ideal for breeders seeking to emphasize emergent coloration and structure.
