It's a clean, honest representation of the species. No embellishment needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pollen parent has a sillier story. I bought it off an Ecuadorian nursery at the tail end of a plant show, told it was seed grown, and knew within a week of getting it home that it was not - divided at the stem, plain as day. Not enough to call it wild collected, but enough to keep me a little suspicious of that table going forward. I've got a handful of flowering-size carlablackiae now and I try to keep them straight in my head, which is how \"Tropicarla\" happened - a Rays broadcast, an announcer saying Tropicana Field one too many times, and me shouting eureka to an empty greenhouse like a lunatic. Might be my best name yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant itself explains all of this far better than I just did. Enjoy it, and whatever it goes on to make.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzzy Petioles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42404715626551,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1734\/4823\/files\/b3d5f109eff24ee3aa53b997c797858b.jpg?v=1787431407","url":"https:\/\/40535d-84.myshopify.com\/products\/anthurium-papillilaminum-colon-x-carlablackiae-tropicarla","provider":"Fuzzy Petioles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
