    🌿 Anthurium (Tim Anderson 'Crystal Mag' / 'Tim’s Black') × self

    This selfed cross highlights one of the most refined lines from the Tim Anderson breeding legacy, pairing 'Crystal Mag'’s glistening venation with the brooding coloration of 'Tim’s Black'. By selfing this complex hybrid, we aim to reinforce the most stable and desirable traits—deep pigmentation, strong veining, and compact, upright growth.


    🌱 Emergent Leaf Coloration

    We expect a bold, high-contrast flush of red or deep burgundy as new leaves emerge, with a gradual transition into darker tones—ranging from forest green to nearly black—accented by persistent, silvery veining. This color dynamic is one of the signature traits of the Tim Anderson line.


    📏 Stature & Form

    This hybrid self-cross typically presents broad, heart-shaped leaves with pointed lobes and a slightly matte texture. Plants are anticipated to retain an upright, compact stature, with a dense internodal rhythm that makes them ideal candidates for both display and breeding collections.


    🧬 Breeding Notes

    Both seed and pollen in this selfed cross derive from a Tim Anderson hybrid combining 'Crystal Mag' and 'Tim’s Black', two of the most visually distinct and consistent lines in velvet-leaf Anthuriums.

    • The seed donor, shown on the left, exhibits strong form inheritance and is expected to pass on its veining clarity and upright posture.

    • This selfing is designed to isolate and stabilize high-impact traits for future generations, especially leaf shape, coloration, and texture.

    • We estimate variation in emergent coloration intensity across seedlings, though all are likely to retain the signature red-to-dark leaf transition.
