Anthurium 'Swampmannii Black' x A. 'Doc Block Purple' F2 (A9)

🌱 Emergent Leaf Coloration
We estimate that emergent leaves may emerge in deep maroon to burgundy tones, potentially exhibiting a pinkish or magenta midrib inherited from the 'Doc Block' parent. These tones are predicted to darken significantly as leaves mature, yielding a moody, near-black display with violet sheen in optimal conditions.

📐 Stature & Form
Seedlings are anticipated to exhibit a compact yet broad stature, influenced by the seed donor 'Swampmannii Black'. Expect defined lobes, prominent drip tips, and a flat sinus in some offspring. The pollen donor contributes more dramatic venation and a fuller leaf blade, likely softening the sharper angles of the Swampmannii line.

🧬 Breeding Notes
This cross leverages the intensely pigmented 'Swampmannii Black'—a stable black-leaf form—paired with the highly expressive Doc Block Purple F2 line, known for dynamic leaf coloration and strong venation. Together, this pairing aims to refine:

• Color saturation (especially black, violet, or red tones)

• Vein contrast and definition

• Leaf texture with matte to velvety finishes

• Collectible morphology with compact growth habit

This hybrid is ideal for breeders focused on enhancing dark-foliage traits with clearly structured form.
