Queen of Hearts × (forgetii df or besseae aff.), a hybrid created by me. This plant produces stunning red emergent leaves that mature into an almost cool-toned, bluish-purple hue.

Two pollens were used for this hybrid, besseae aff and forgetii dark form, so the exact pollen donor is unknown.

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.
