Anthurium "Crystal Queen" #2 x A. 'Doc Block Purp F2' (A6)

🌿 Anthurium "Crystal Queen" #2 × A. 'Doc Block Purple F2'

This cross brings together the sharply veined clarity of Crystal Queen with the deep pigment and dense structure of Doc Block Purple F2, producing seedlings with bold contrast and potential for dramatic coloration.

🍃 Emergent Leaf Coloration

We predict that emergent leaves will display shades of burgundy, plum, or reddish-brown—common in the 'Doc Block Purple F2' lineage—before maturing into darker green tones with strong silver or pinkish veining, depending on light conditions and maturity.

🌱 Stature & Form

Seedlings are expected to inherit a sturdy, upright form with wide, heart-shaped blades. The seed donor (Crystal Queen #2, shown left) contributes prominent white veining and a centered sinus, while the pollen donor adds thickness and bullate surface texture. This combination may lead to slightly ruffled or textural finishes on mature leaves, with impressive midrib contrast.

🧬 Breeding Notes

Crystal Queen #2 was selected for its symmetrical veining and velvet leaf finish, and was paired with 'Doc Block Purple F2' to intensify color depth while maintaining structural refinement. We expect this pairing to yield bold intermediate traits—likely with red-toned emergents, dark velvety leaves, and silver to magenta veining. Early signs suggest a high likelihood of uniformity in overall form and contrast.
