Anthurium (Tim Anderson Mag/Pap / 'Doc Block Purple' F2) x A. 'Swampmanii' (A16)

🌿 Anthurium (Tim Anderson 'Mag/Pap' / 'Doc Block Purple' F2) × A. 'Swampmannii'

This striking hybrid brings together a lineage-driven Tim Anderson cross with the robust form and vigor of Anthurium 'Swampmannii'. The seed donor—Tim Anderson 'Mag/Pap' / 'Doc Block Purple' F2—provides heavy pigmentation, upright structure, and detailed veining. The pollen donor, 'Swampmannii', contributes size, endurance, and a slightly rounded leaf form with a strong presence.

🌱 Emergent Leaf Coloration

We predict rich, copper-to-burgundy emergent leaves, with some seedlings exhibiting a deep plum hue that fades into a velvety green as the leaf matures. This expectation is based on the coloration tendencies of the 'Doc Block Purple' F2 line combined with 'Swampmannii's' mellow transitional gradients.

📏 Stature & Form

Expect broad, heart-shaped foliage with defined midrib symmetry. The seed donor offers a more upright petiole presentation and structured leaf tension, while 'Swampmannii' tempers this with a fuller blade and slightly softer edges. Resulting seedlings will likely show a sturdy, semi-vertical habit with excellent balance.

🧬 Breeding Notes

Both parent plants represent refined genetic lines within the velvet-leaf group, selected for their stability, distinctive morphology, and lasting value in breeding programs.

• The seed donor is a complex Tim Anderson hybrid crossed to 'Doc Block Purple' F2, valued for its dark coloration and consistent upright stature.

• The pollen donor, 'Swampmannii', adds scale, increased vigor, and a reliable growth pattern ideal for broader crosses.

• We expect emergent coloration to vary from copper red to dark plum depending on the seedling, offering both contrast and richness in developing foliage.
