[Aroid-l] Anthurium Marie with infloresence

From: denis at skg.com (Denis) on 2008.04.10 at 17:28:09(17369) Anthurium x Marie is a tissue cultured hybrid Pachyneurium group anthurium. it took Steve Nock a long time to breed an Anthurium with leaves as dark maroon as Marie (named after Steve's beautiful wife Marie)...It probably has a lot of mismatched chromasomes and a bit of aneuploidy thrown in and it does a lot of strange things in growth of branching too much, making mis-shapen spathes and double spadices and in some cases just totally warped growth. We've grown out 1000's of liners oof Marie and your plant is not that unusual. keep it is the brightest light possible to keep the beautiful maroon coloring in the leaves.

So very pleased to share the oddest anthurium inflorescence in my 30+ years of appreciating them. The leaves including short petiole measure three feet and about 7" wide. The inflorescence has the slightest amount of pollen very near the base only. Notice the undulation, roller coaster pattern on the underside. I've secured a small amount of pollen in aluminum foil. Should I freeze until its proposed anthurium recipient reaches pollination for cross breeding a. marie and a. hookeri? Historically the a. hookeri produces several hundred seeds each year whereas the a. marie has never developed into infructescence. (I do hope the moderator can format them to an acceptable size to share the remarkable growth OR scold me with a suggestion). ...CSea aka AlterNative Solutions _____ From: aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of E Morano Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 5:57 PM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] 10 Amorphophalls Titan plants When I get my plants I will be putting some up for auction.
