Two Scott Cohen plants walk into a cross, and honestly it was overdue. The seed parent is a papillilaminum sold to me as a lost tag plant, inky-black and tall-lobed with that velvet sheen once it matured into something unmistakably itself. You can't go wrong with it. The pollen parent is a plant I've always just called "Wonder Boy A" - I genuinely don't know if it's original Wonder Boy material or a self of it, but it doesn't matter, because whatever's in there produces wondrous emergent colors that pass readily to offspring. It's a big, vigorous grower too, carrying Tim Anderson's habit of coaxing something amazing out of species inputs nobody's quite pinned down.
So this seedling comes from a straightforward premise: take a proven black velvet papillilaminum and let it meet a plant whose whole reputation is throwing color onto its kids. I'm curious to see which parent wins the argument.
