Anthurium 'Swampmannii Long' x ('A. 'Rotundatum X' x A. 'Doc Block Purp F2' #1) (A14)

🌿 Anthurium 'Swampmannii Long' × (A. 'Rotundatum X' × A. 'Doc Block Purple' F2 #1)

A rare cross uniting elongated stature with deep, vivid coloration.
This complex hybrid brings together the long, narrow leaf form of Anthurium 'Swampmannii Long'—a hand-selected variant known for its elongated shape and dark coloration—with the intense pigmentation and venation contrast of 'Rotundatum X' × 'Doc Block Purple' F2 #1. The result is a line of seedlings predicted to offer a bold blend of structured form and high-impact color.

🌱 Emergent Leaf Coloration
We estimate emergent leaves will display vivid bronze to copper-red tones that deepen into dark, velvety maroons or greens with age. Some seedlings may inherit the pink or magenta midrib glow observed in the 'Doc Block' line.

📐 Stature & Form
Seedlings are expected to take after the seed donor, 'Swampmannii Long', with extended leaf blades, a subtle drip tip, and a more upright presentation. The pollen donor may add broader shoulders or rounded leaf bases depending on expression.

🧬 Breeding Notes
This hybrid builds on a foundation of carefully stabilized traits:

• 'Swampmannii Long' offers a consistent elongated form and darker leaf surface.

• 'Rotundatum X' contributes unique lobing and weighty form.

• 'Doc Block Purple' F2 #1 is known for richly colored emergent leaves and purple undertones, which are expected to influence coloration in this cross.

This makes the cross a valuable step toward stabilizing elongated, richly pigmented foliage in future breeding projects.
