Anthurium antolakii ('BVEP')

Anthurium 'Black Velvet Eastern Panama' aka 'BVEP' aka antolakiii.

This plant is a seed-grown specimen that was acquired during the plant's first introduction to the aroid hobby. I affectionately refer to this plant as my 'Bay Area BVEP' as it was originally grown by Esmé of bayareafrogs.com (IG: @bayareafrogs) before coming to my collection in Spring of 2023. After several attempts to self this plant, it has come to fruition.

Selfed Anthurium is a topic that routinely comes up in discussion within the collectors' community with much controversy. While some well-respected collectors maintain that selfing a plant will result in overall weaker offspring or inferior genetics, many well-versed growers have also sought out and grow selfed specimens in our collections, as it is not universally the case that a selfed seed/seedling will result in weaker or subordinate plants. If your seed, given amiable conditions of high humidity and warm temperatures (70º+), fails to grow or exhibits detrimental mutations upon beginning tissue growth, please reach out for the option of replacement.

It is my intention to always select the most robust seeds and seedlings for sale and avoid any negative or unsatisfactory experiences when it comes to purchasing plants from my site. If you have any concerns or complaints upon or after receipt of a plant from me, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can come to a resolution. I always guarantee live arrival and do my best to make every purchase and experience a positive one to bring your dream plants to your collection!
