Anthurium Marie with infloresence

From: Tropicals at SolutionsAnalysis.net (Tropicals) on 2008.04.10 at 02:20:35(17356) Greetings, I am attaching 2 large photos taken with my iPhone; my apologies for poor quality but it was so important to show you anthurium lovers. 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. +More (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.

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.

From: Steve at ExoticRainforest.com (ExoticRainforest) on 2008.04.10 at 21:18:07(17371) MessageDenis, 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!

From: denis at skg.com (Denis) on 2008.04.11 at 15:40:53(17376) Steve: Anthurium 'Marie' as you have it in single quotes is probably the best way to write it, since we do not know what the true parentage is. I threw in the "x" to indicate that it is not a true species but rather a hybrid of unknown parents. No, i do not think it is registered with ICRA. Nor do I know if it was patented or the name was trademarked but I doubt if either of these methods was used. the plant does not have broad enough horticultural appeal for another lab to jump on it and pirate this plant. Steve should be able to afford the expense to register the cultivar with the ICRA. These are good questions for Steve Nock... I'll ask him the next time he is in.
