It lends shape, silver veining and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe pollen side is a heavy, elite pairing: Anthurium carlablackiae — the Guna Yala (Panama) endemic, one of the darkest, most substantial velvets in cultivation — crossed with 'Ace of Spades', the spade-shaped near-black velvet with pale veining. Together they bring serious depth, substance and dark tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eCrossing forgetii onto that Carla × AOS base marries forgetii's rounded silhouette and silver veining with real velvet weight — and this plant carries variegation on top: strong, well-balanced sectors with good colour and distribution. Variegation is guaranteed on this clone; the exact pattern, colour and balance shift leaf to leaf as it grows, so every new leaf is its own.\u003c\/p\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, clone from the mother (shown in the final photo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4, with the 4th unfurling now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong, well-established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High — great colour and balance across current growth.
