This ecotype of A. magnificum was cloned from a plant likely wild-harvested some 80 years ago, and for years it sat in the foyer of a Miami orchid nursery under the care of Mickey Carmichael, a prominent grower in that world for decades. Enid Offolter of NSE Tropicals saw it about 20 years ago, when it was already thought to be pushing 60, and left with a cutting - which she eventually grew into an enormous clone of her own, a piece of which she donated to the International Aroid Society's Annual Member Dinner \u0026amp; Auction. I got into a bidding war for it. I won. A. magnificum is thought to be a complex of 20-plus subspecies or ecotypes, and plenty of them circulate under names like \"Norte\" or \"Silver,\" but \"Mickey\" is the one I'm partial to, for obvious reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pollen parent is dressleri \"Extremely Dark Dressleri.\" I have no notes on file for it beyond the name, which is doing a lot of the talking already. This cross exists mostly because I wanted to see what happens when eight decades of pedigree meets a plant whose whole reputation is right there on the tag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzzy Petioles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42319862136887,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1734\/4823\/files\/f81b4d81938ed0def119ce325afd5a04.jpg?v=1783984496","url":"https:\/\/40535d-84.myshopify.com\/products\/magnificum-mickey-x-anthurium-dressleri-extremely-dark-dressleri","provider":"Fuzzy Petioles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
