'Midori' hasn't gotten to the pollen-shedding stage yet, though. I'm not certain that she's going to, either: some cultivars just never shed pollen at all.[1] Even if she's capable of producing mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-85003939174490744302014-07-05T13:21:50.401-07:002014-07-05T13:21:50.401-07:00I agree with Sheena that it's much prettier as...I agree with Sheena that it's much prettier as a whole plant.

(The biggest would probably be 'Florida.') For the most part, cuttings will root fine in water,[1] so a plant that got too big could be restarted.

I usually like reading for the interesting genetics and trials - not a big fan of Anthuriums myself- but that middle photo is gorgeous! It's so pretty as a whole, very zen with the form.
