So....I have had this plant, Anthurium besseae x magificum, since c2005/6, I bought it off eBay. It was like $25, which was expensive for a plant way back in the wayback. It has been a very prolific plant all these years, I have had many offsets. But these are my most prized offsets. This is a silver mutation. The veining of most of the Cardiolonchium anthuriums has a cell layer that is reflective, which makes it kind of silvery. This mutation has extended to the leaves. And it is not on just ONE offset, but TWO. SO it may be stable in this particular offset. I have separated them off and repotted them separately to wait for more offsets, to see if I get more mostly silver plants
first 3 photos, mama silver. Even the most 'normal' leaf is still very heavy on silver veining

Even if it is, I can't think of the practical application LOL. I have what is called a 'Red' Anthurium crystallinum, they sell at auction for over $500. But even if mine made an offset, I wouldn;t sell it. It would be MINE. I would just be happy to GROW it. Same with tis...the 'Silver Selby' crystallinum sells for a huge amount. But I would rather just....GROW it
