Product description

🌿 Anthurium 'Costa Rican Crystal' × ('Tim Anderson’s Crystal Mag' × 'Tim Anderson’s Black') This bold cross blends the broad, quilted foliage and silver veining of Anthurium 'Costa Rican Crystal' with a complex Tim Anderson hybrid combining 'Crystal Mag' and 'Tim Anderson’s Black'. Seedlings are expected to exhibit dense venation, intense color transitions, and a refined shield-like form, with the potential for deep velvet finishes and dramatic contrast. 🍁 Emergent Leaf Coloration Expect emergent leaves in a rich red-copper to bronze tone, often developing pink or orange midveins. As the leaf expands, veining begins to glow neon yellow-green before maturing into bright white to silvery veins over dark green to blackish foliage. Some seedlings may retain a coppery blush into maturity, reflecting the 'Tim Anderson’s Black' influence. 🪴 Stature & Form This cross typically produces heart-shaped to slightly lobed foliage with a thick blade and pronounced venation, especially in high humidity. The 'Costa Rican Crystal' seed donor contributes a full, wide frame and quilted texture, while the pollen donor sharpens veining clarity and enhances coloration. Leaves are expected to have a medium to large size with upright posture. 🌱 Breeding Notes 'Costa Rican Crystal' is known for its shimmering silver veins and robust, leathery foliage. The pollen donor combines two of Tim Anderson’s most influential lines—'Crystal Mag', valued for its bright venation and clarity, and 'Tim Anderson’s Black', a rare cultivar prized for its dark pigmentation and refined stature. This cross represents a deep lineage of Florida-based breeding and has strong potential for visually dominant offspring.
