Anthurium "Sam's Dream" x "Wonder Boy A"

"Sam's Dream" x "Wonder Boy A"

There's a bit of nepotism in this one, since the seed parent shares a name with my wife, but I picked it up at the IAS Show & Sale in 2023 fair and square. It has since become a monster, about 4 feet wide with leaves over 2 feet lobe to tip, and it carries a striking selfing from Tim Anderson's 'Wonder Boy' lineage crossed onto an undescribed Colombian hybrid. Interesting veination, overlapping lobes, and emergent leaves that go red in the cooler months and nearly black under a tent. Not a subtle plant.

The pollen parent came from Scott Cohen some years back, and I honestly don't know if it's original Wonder Boy material or a self of it. What I do know is that it throws wondrous emergent colors and passes them along readily, and it's large and vigorous in its own right. So this cross is really just Tim Anderson's lineage talking to itself twice over, filtered through an unknown Colombian hybrid for good measure. I'm curious what argument they settle on.
