Dear Dewey,
Sorry for the late reply, I`ve been out of town. Denis and
Jay Vaninni have confirmed that they think the parentage of 'red beauty'
includes A. vetchii,
I`ll forward his note to you when I find it. The plant is
available in bloom (or was available a month ago) at Excelsor Gardens in
W.P.B.
Give Ralph my best.

>>Julius,
The cross between Anthurium veitchii and A. andreanum is known as Anth. x
"Montefontanense" and is not known to have red foliage... I wish you
good fortune in the search for the parents...
Next time you are down this way.... I have a plant the might fit
your description... Would like you to take a look at it....
Dewey

Dear Friends,
As a follow-up to me querry below concerning the
commercially sold Anthurium w/ the red-purple leaves that do not change
to green, and which I recently saw in bloom for the first time, a friend
informs me that it is called (among other names) 'Red Beauty", and he
believes it comes from an Anthurium vetchii X Anthurium andreanum
cross. Come to think of it, the blooms with the pink
spathes and short peduncles did resemble closely the blooms I have seen
on other plants that came from this cross, but the othres had green
leaves. The next chance I get I will examine the leaf viens,
as the crosses I saw had viens that one could recognise as being from
the A. vetchii parent.

>>Dear Joe, Tom and Friends,
I saw for the first time blooms on that 'commercial' var. or
sp. of Anthurium that I first saw for sale at K-Mart about 4 years ago,
the one w/ cordate leaves that never change color from purple to green,(
the color purple of some Anthurium sp. leaves when they first emerge,
but 'normally' then change to green) Do you know the one I`m
speaking about?? Well the damn thing has BEAUTIFUL, large
cupped, elongate light pink spathes! I somehow had
anticipated an insipid looking bloom perhaps like the hybrid cultivar
'Lazarus' that I have seen, with a thin, purplish/colorless spathe, but
no, this plant is spectacular in bloom! Any idea of
its parentage or if it is a species???
Julius
