'Complex HU Hybrid 1' is a hybrid of (HU x Dorayaki) x (papillilaminum x forgetii) by Karteldaun (Indonesia). I originally got 3 seeds, from which I got 2 amazing quite similar looking parent plants. This has been one of my favorite hybridizing plant, as it seems to pass on amazing dark colors, vivid emergents and a round shaped leaf.

This plant originates from a quite well-known batch that was initially believed to be pure Anthurium carlablackiae, but later proved to be an unintended bench hybrid between NSE carlablackiae and an unknown pollen donor, produced by Enid Offolter (USA, @nsetropicals). The most commonly speculated pollen donors are A. portillae and A. papillilaminum.

The plant exhibits a striking deep red emergent leaf color, delicate spidery venation, and a slightly elongated, triangular leaf shape. It has become a cornerstone in my breeding program, consistently passing on exceptionally dark foliage and richly colored emergents. Offspring also frequently inherit the fine pin-striping and spidery veins.
