🌿 Anthurium ‘Swampmannii #1’ × (A. ‘Rotundatum X’ / A. ‘Doc Block Purple F2’)

This visually striking cross blends the refined velvet and upright stature of Swampmannii #1 with a complex pollen donor composed of Anthurium 'Rotundatum X' and Dr. Block Purple F2. The resulting offspring are expected to exhibit a fusion of trilobed form, emergent color intensity, and stable velvet texture—ideal for collectors seeking bold contrast and unique lineage.

🍁 Emergent Leaf Coloration

Expect deep red to purplish emergent tones, especially in seedlings leaning toward the Doc Block Purple F2 parentage. Some individuals will display coppery hues fading to dark green, while others may retain a purple blush even into maturity. Veins emerge in a bright pink to red tone before mellowing to cream or green.

🪴 Stature & Form

Seedlings are likely to inherit a broad, rounded blade with moderate lobing and a subtle quilted texture. The Swampmannii #1 parent stabilizes the shape with consistent upright posture and medium leaf size, while Rotundatum X may influence trilobed structure and exaggerated lateral veins. Doc Block Purple F2 adds richness in pigment and visual depth.

🌱 Breeding Notes

Swampmannii #1 is a selected form prized for its stable growth and dark, velvety finish. The pollen donor is a complex hybrid between Rotundatum X and Dr. Block Purple F2—a line bred by Dr. Jeff Block for deep coloration and vigor. This cross offers potential for highly pigmented seedlings with bold venation and unique form combinations, especially among F2s.
