Anthurium antolakii "Chubbs" x "Wonder Boy A"

Anthurium antolakii "Chubbs" x "Wonder Boy A"

"Chubbs" doesn't need much of an introduction from me, and honestly I'm not sure I could do it justice anyway. Grant Abadal bred it as part of his antolakii work, A. antolakii "Round" x "Felix" F2 if I have the lineage right, and I nicknamed it for the obvious reason. It's chubby. Look at it. A masterpiece, plain and simple.

The pollen parent came to me from Scott Cohen a while back, and I still don't know if it's original Wonder Boy material or a self of it. Doesn't much matter to me - what matters is it throws wondrous emergent colors and passes them on readily. It's a big, vigorous plant, carrying Tim Anderson's long thread of turning obscure species inputs into something amazing. Putting that pollen onto a masterpiece seed parent felt like an easy call. We'll see what shows up.
