I have this plant....its a sport mutation of a hybrid anthurium I have owned since the early 2000's. The original cross is A. besseae x A. magnificum. The sport occurred spontaneously a couple years ago, and has since replicated itself in an offset First photo: normal mother plant

This is one of the sport mutations. Its somewhat similar to a plant called the 'Fairchild Crystallinum' which is a high silver content Crystalline. Except my plant is not a crystallinum.

I could sell either small offsets of either one of these plants alone for over $500. But I don;t sell them, I like to grow them too much.

This is a Red Crystallinum

Its a very dark Crystallinum, a hybrid with something like dressleri, that produces blood red new leaves like this

I have been offered $750 for this plant. But its mine, Its NFS.

Someone made a hybrid between the Fairchild crystallinum x Red Crystallinum and one just went for $728 on an auction site.
