This attractive hybrid was developed by Jim Georgisus in 1993 during his stay in Hilo, Hawaii. Jim is a very talented plant breeder with numerous commercial aroid cultivars to his credit, including Anthurium 'Lady Jane' and it's many hybrids, as well as Spathiphyllum 'Sensation'. You can see an image of A. 'White Knight', as well as some generic cultural information at the Agri-Starts website at http://www.agristarts.com/tech.htm?id23 Regards, Scott +More Mr. Scott E.
