The plant in the picture is anthurium x Marie. It was breed by Steve Nock In Miami FL. He put it into tissue culture a few years ago and I have been growing it at my nursery ever since. It is very variable from tissue culture and this is the wider leave form of it. It is a very good landscape plant because it can take bright light and also deep shade. In bright light it gets a reddish purple tint to the green leaves but in deep shade it is all green. It is not a large grower and stays medium size. I hope this helps.

Dear Friends,

Can you identify this gorgeous specimen? I got these photos and I have no idea, maybe it is a hybrid.

Best,

Marek

Greetings and Good Morning;

I have had an Anthurium for nearly 8 year now - bought it when it was smaller but because of the redness of a mature leaf. It has gotten much larger since then but surely would like to be able to place a 'name' to it! The leaves currently are 57 inches long and 17 inches wide. Very similar to Anthurium schlechtendalii but with dark reddish leaves. Spath is red too but have not had seeds at all over all the years - even with 2+ flowers at one time. The more sun it gets, the more red the leaves.

Any assistance in identifying this would be greatly appreciated as I have spent HOURS looking at assorted web sites and still no luck(!).

Thank You in advance -

Sincerely;

Gary Gethen

Key West, Fl.
