  [Aroid-l] 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.
