Cooler months coax out the bright reds we're all chasing in the emergent, while warmer months stifle that only a bit, helping deeper greens, beiges, and oranges take over instead. It's an impressive gradient to watch through the seasons, if you're patient enough to pay attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pollen parent is Anthurium carlablackiae \"Tropicarla,\" a name I'm still proud of. I bought the plant from an Ecuadorian nursery at the end of a show, told it was seed grown, and once I got it home and actually looked, it was clearly divided at the stem instead. Not enough there to make any bigger claim about it, wild-collected or otherwise, but I stayed a little suspicious anyway. The name came to me one night in the greenhouse listening to a Rays broadcast, the announcer mentioning Tropicana Field one too many times. Tropicarla. Possibly my best naming work to date, for whatever that's worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut the two together and the seedling is a much more intelligible expression of everything I just tried to explain. Enjoy it, and whatever it goes on to produce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzzy Petioles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42429199843383,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1734\/4823\/files\/43c79bb1-417d-4da0-8f7a-5d0a6c0cbb21.jpg?v=1788470753","url":"https:\/\/40535d-84.myshopify.com\/products\/anthurium-tim-s-black-x-greige-x-red-crystal-x-carlablackiae-tropicarla","provider":"Fuzzy Petioles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
