    I have a very very old (c2005/6) anthurium that I bought off of eBay for about $25. It was advertised way back in the wayback as Anthurium besseae x magnificum. Intriguing. It has always been a weird plant. The morphology of the leaf shape and the spadices are extremely variable. But about a year ago, it made a mutant offset. An offset that is mainly SILVER. If it was a clarinervium, I would suspect it was a Selby Silver. But of course its not. SO I separated this silver offset off and potted it separately. Now, the silver offset has produces ANOTHER silver offset! This is kind of wonderful. The sport may be stable. The first photo is the Mother of all my offsets (I have maybe 10?). The 2nd and 3rd photos are the silver mutation

    Nice! I'm not always a fan of variegation, but I like those colors. Can't wait to see it when it matures. Congratulations. Hope that color sticks for you.

    Thanks. I knew Steve Lucas. I am quite aware of Exotic Rainforest.
