It takes the metallic, near-blackish sheen and pronounced veining from cuprea, and the elongated arrow blade with a dark purple reverse from longiloba. Upright and compact, with rare deep-purple spathes when it blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe 'Pink' is the anthocyanin-variegated form — irregular blush and rose sectors over that dark metallic blade, different on every leaf. Pigment-based and inherent to the line, so relatively stable rather than reverting; it deepens with bright light and varies in extent leaf to leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== THIS SPECIMEN — edit per girl ===== --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eThis specimen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e juvenile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 leaves, visible variegation on 1st leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acclimated and ready to ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6; color: #6b2d5c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne specimen.
