Anthurium papillilaminum ('Ft Sherman' x self) x ('Ft Sherman' clone)
As of Aug 25 2024 these are vigorous 1-2 LEAFERS
If you’re an Anthurium head you need this one in your collection. The orignal ‘FS’ clone as a pollen parent combined with the genetics of SHERM means that we have a chance to see some diverse leaf morphology, and that there’s a greater chance for some killer plants in this batch. This has never been made before. This is the 10th creation/cross the plants and I have created here, and I’m so stoked it is using my favorite plant: SHERM.. and his dad.
Super cool but unsolicited botany fact I learned this week: self pollination is sexual reproduction in plants bc there is a realignment of the alleles. As it pertains to Anthurium hybridizing: seedlings born of self pollination aren’t as much of a “diluter” to the gene pool, for sentimental reasons I never thought this anyways-been breeding with SHERM since the start- but it is nice to have science back it up a bit.
Pollen parent in images 4-5. Image six is a new leaf on the seed parent.
