Subject: [Aroid-l] Anthurium Marie with infloresence
Denis, does anyone know if Anthurium x Marie is a registered cultivar?
I've seen it on the net as Anthurium 'Marie' as well as Anthurium x
Marie and just Anthurium Marie. I've had it on my website for several
years as Anthurium 'Marie' but I can't be certain if it is registered.
I like to try to post plants as they are correctly classified and will
change the post in an instant if I can get the correct answer.
Thanks as always!

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.
