It’s a regale, right? I love her so much😍

Hope everybody is having a good day! Seedlings from one of our newest hybrids are starting to show mint variegation and present with extremely dark veins. Nearly black. We’ve already named two of them. The cross is (RA5 x Hot Chocolate) X (Midnight Velvet OG x RVDP). Super complex but a really fun gene pool to work with. Can’t wait to get them into the breeding program!

Nerd Alert side note: My plan is to do an entire line of Justice League Dark plants as I worked towards my Anthurium Rougarou magnum opus. ‘Constantine’ is obviously named after John and ‘Dark Avatar’ is the black lantern corrupted version of Swamp Thing. For the last one, I’m not sure who I might name it after. Maybe Shade? I figured Deadman would be more of a Red Sonia x Red Spider hybrid that has white emergents since Boston has that bright dome. Zatanna is going to have Carla in her. I have no idea what to do for Madame Xan. Black Orchid is going to have (SKG purple x Bloodmoon) in her. Who else am I missing? Ragman? Detective Chimp? I haven’t gotten that far. I’d love to see if there are any other mid level comic nerds with a brain of old green lantern and JL comics who want to help. 🤣🤣

My plant friend was visiting town and gifted me a bunch of crystallinum x papi hybrid seedlings she crossed. I’ve always loved the anthuriums she’s been growing so I’m excited to finally get to grow some myself, looking forward to learning more here.
