I was lucky enough to receive an Anthurium lutheri in a trade. This is a newly described species that still has an unresolved name. It is being brought in currently in very small quantities by Ecuagenera and perhaps other importers. It lives in tropical wet forest at lower elevations as an epiphyte and requires lots of humidity, so I put it in the mist tank with Anthurium cutucuense. Hopefully I can make it happy. This is a young specimen. When more mature its leaves will be patterned more like Cutucuense, just long and pendant. Lutheri:

Cutucuense






new leaf coming on cutucuense

gorgeous and super exciting. How has it been doing?

GREAT so far. Its in the greenhouse mounted to a totem now and is climbing.

They have these at Ecuagenera I think only at the Ecuadorean site for $200. There is one I saw in person at the Apopka nursery yesterday, Lutheri AFF, for $180 (I didn't get it). Its noce but not as nice as Lutheri.
