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???
