This is A. magnificum \"Mickey\", cloned from a plant wild-harvested something like 80 years ago, and for a good long stretch of that time it sat in the foyer of a Miami orchid nursery being grown by Mickey Carmichael herself, a prominent name in that world for decades. Enid Offolter of NSE Tropicals saw it about 20 years ago, when the plant was already thought to be pushing 60, and left with a cutting because of course she did. Enid eventually donated a piece of her now-enormous clone to the International Aroid Society's Annual Member Dinner \u0026amp; Auction, where I got into a bidding war over it and, thankfully, came out the winner. A. magnificum is thought to be a complex of 20-plus subspecies or ecotypes, and plenty are around in trade under names like \"Norte\" and \"Silver\". I'm partial to \"Mickey\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pollen parent has no such saga attached. It's A. dressleri, picked up from Scott Cohen, whose handwritten tags never give you more than the name. So that's the whole lineage on that side: \u003cem\u003eAnthurium\u003c\/em\u003e dressleri. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis batch, then, is 80 years of foyer-grown pedigree meeting a plant whose entire backstory fits on a plant tag. I like that kind of pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzzy Petioles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42318592311351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1734\/4823\/files\/124dcc5b18ad5c17175e57ec4178a621.jpg?v=1783907125","url":"https:\/\/40535d-84.myshopify.com\/products\/magnificum-mickey-x-dressleri","provider":"Fuzzy Petioles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
