[Aroid-l] Anthurium species help, not hookeri

From: Floral Architecture <floralartistry2000 at yahoo.com> on 2004.10.22 at 17:48:16(12300) I am hoping that someone can help me. I have received a HUGE Anthurium that I assumed was hookeri. It has been producing prolific amounts of seeds all summer (which sprout really quickly). I want to be able to sell these plants with a proper name. Someone on this list (sorry, I forget who) stated that the true hookeri has blue seeds. This one has very bright red ones. They are pushed out of the spadix and fall from fine fibres similar to magnolias. I can take pictures of anything necessary to help in ID. It is still flowering and seeding at the same time. I must have 6-8 stems in various stages. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I must also state that directing me to a key would be useless. I have never been able to come out to correct answers even on things that I know to be correct. I look forward to hearing responses. On a side bar, can this (or any Anthurium) be crossed with A. psuedospectabilis? It is now flowering also. Both these plants are growing outside in So.
