Wow that's nice! I hope you grabbed that fruit (or whatever you call it on an anthurium) It's not seed because the seeds are encapsulated in those berry thingys.

I think they would look amazing grown high up on the stilt roots of an exotic palm .I have heard that there is/was a pendant leaf sp. that is found on Socratea stilts .

YAY! :yay: There's signs of life! These are the same seeds from post #12, A. waroqueanum. They popped already! I must have gotten a hundred seeds off that spadix... so if 70% survive I don't know what I'm going to do!

Don't worry Andrea , you will be lucky to end up with a few of these :hmm: The large complex leaf plant will climb and get to 2m across , its clavigerum and has the largest leaf of any Anthurium in C.A.

Here is one that's not colorful, but has merit. It grows outdoors here in San Francisco all year round. I don't know the species, and post it here in the hope that someone might ID it for me. I collected this plant as a tiny seedling in 1996 at 8500 feet elevation on the old highway between Loja and Zamora in southern Ecuador. So far, I have failed to set seed and I have only the one plant. Pollination is more difficult because the female flowers reach anthesis first. Thus one must store pollen from the previous inflorescence. I did achieve seed set once, but the spadix got broken off before seed maturity. Thanks for any help! :D

Darold, That's quite a noteworthy anthurium. It would appear to have some value in the trade. Perhaps you can get some offsets going and get them to a climate where it may be easier to get it to set seed. (hint hint) :)

Darold:

This looks to be one of many closely-related species in the Anthurium dolichostachyum group, which are common in wet forests in western Colombia and Ecuador. They are typically large terrestrials or hemiepiphytes and range from near sea level well into montane cloud forests. Most of these plants are somewhat variable with regard to leaf surface texture but all have the very characteristic deep, horseshoe-shaped sinus that is common in other Anthurium subgenera as well...some are subvelvety, some are matte, most are metallic or glittering when grown soft. While considered to be Sect. Cardiolonchium (the subgenus that incls. many of the showy, velvet-leaf species such as magnificum and crystallinum), I have never been able to hybridize any members of this particular group with Cardios that I commonly use for hybridization, such as luxuriens, dressleri or papillilaminum since even successful pollination results in parthenocarpic fruit set.

Your choice of high-elevation ecotype was well-advised. The ornamental aroids that occur near or above 2000 m (6500') in southern México, Guatemala and NW South America appear to be quite frost-tolerant and certainly shrug off large amounts of cold rain if well-drained. I cannot see how many leaves your plant has, but if it has a sparse canopy you may consider mossing the aerial part of the stem, or back it with a goodly-sized treefern totem to improve vigor.

This is an undescribed species akin to yours collected near Tandayapa, Pichincha, Ecuador at 1770 m (5750') that I grow in Guatemala...collected by Tom Croat...leaves to 140 cm x 85 cm.

I can never find any with the big flowers. The small flowered species are quite common and I just paid a fortune for a midsize, but big....impossible. I also lost a few of the foliage species due to the unusually long winter this year. Angela that ace of spades is spectacular.
