Anthurium 'Swampmannii #2' x A. (Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag/Tim's Black') (A32)
🌿 Anthurium 'Swampmannii #2' × A. (Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag' / 'Tim’s Black')
A refined hybrid showcasing deep coloration, bold form, and high-contrast veining.
This cross blends the uniquely rounded, velvety traits of Anthurium 'Swampmannii #2'—a selected form known for its compact stature and dark finish—with the elongated leaf shape and silver veining of the Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag/Tim’s Black' line.
🌱 Emergent Leaf Coloration
We estimate that emergent leaves will display a vivid red to burgundy flush before maturing to deep forest green or nearly black, with prominent veining. Some seedlings may develop subtle magenta undertones from the pollen parent, especially under higher humidity and lower light.
📐 Stature & Form
We anticipate a semi-compact growth habit with firm, upright petioles and mature leaves that range from broad to elongated. The seed donor contributes a more rounded form, while the pollen donor may introduce sharper lobes and a more triangular apex. Flat sinuses may occur in some individuals.
🧬 Breeding Notes
This pairing aims to stabilize:
-
Velvety dark leaf texture
-
High contrast silver or pale green veining
-
Balanced leaf shape with visual weight and structural appeal
Anthurium 'Swampmannii #2' is a hand-selected form chosen for its refined silhouette and color saturation. The Tim Anderson Crystal Mag/Tim’s Black line brings pedigree veining and improved leaf elongation. Together, they represent a promising combination of lineage and collector appeal.
