Haha, you are hilarious mrsubjunctive! Loved spinning the mouse wheel to see the anthuriums roll (way to many photos of the same thing)......... great blog, very different to the usual boring horticulture.

Hey Mr. S!

I'm having such a blast reading your blog. It's so refreshing to read a plant blog that's written with honesty and curiosity. I feel a little disoriented though. I can't (easily) find the entry where you describe the overall thrust of your breeding projects. Could you link this page to the blog entr(y/ies) where you describe the genesis/design of the Anthurium project? Who are the proud parents? Are they all named after drag personae?

Daniel McClosky:

Hey.

The breeding projects happened kind of gradually, so it was a progression from "I wonder if I can do this" to "holy shit it worked" to "oh my god they're blooming" to "BREED ALL THE PLANTS." I'm not aiming in any particular direction,[1] just kind of crossing randomly and seeing what, if any, interesting seedlings happen to appear.

The mental progression is probably mostly visible through the Anthurium seedlings tag, which starts in July 2011. May not be super-easy to read, given the reverse chronological order, but that's where most of it should be. There are a few posts in there where I mention all the parent varieties, though I'm not entirely consistent about their names because most of them came to me as NOIDs, and sometimes I have more confidence in my guesses than other times. There are roughly a dozen original parent varieties.[2] The seedlings up to 0635 Gia Gunn are all the first-generation offspring from that dozen; since 0636 Lourdes Prayer, some are F1s and some are F2s.

I've thought about adding an explanatory post for the Anthurium and Schlumbergera breeding, something to explain what I'm trying to do and why the names are weird and so forth, but it'd take some time to write and I wasn't sure if anyone would actually find it useful. So I haven't bothered. But maybe someday.

The name thing has also evolved with time; initially the idea was just drag queens, but then I added roller derby names (e.g. 0755 Evah Destruction), and I was spending so much time looking for new ones that I started making up my own (e.g. 1121 Christina Withakay), and this expanded to punny names in general (0076 Bob Humbug), and drag kings (0698 Landon Cider), faux queens (0527 Ms. Lucia Love), to the point where now I have several names that make me kind of uncomfortable because they're trans women who performed as drag queens before coming out as trans (0656 Carmen Carrera) or figures like (0892) Eddie Izzard, who isn't a drag queen, but does perform in women's clothing sometimes, and (0014) John Waters, who doesn't perform in drag or even wear women's clothing but is nevertheless drag-adjacent as hell. So the names are all in the same punny, gender-bendy neighborhood, kind of, but I'm pretty sure that some of the actual people I've named seedlings after would be upset to find out that they're being lumped in with some of the other people.[3]

Should also be noted that these were originally envisioned as placeholder names: something to call the seedlings until such time as they showed what qualities they possessed and something more specific could be chosen. If any of them become official, patented plants, I probably won't patent them under the same names they have here, though there are plausible exceptions (0031 Sylvester, 0217 Vivacious, 0580 Marsha Marsha Marsha). I've been assuming that the Schlumbergera names would be the official names if they were ever patented, though.

-

[1] I have thought before that a large, blistered purple spathe, with dark green leaves, would be nice. Purple has turned out to be a difficult color to get, though, as you can see from the photos in the gallery: only 0200 Mario Speedwagon, 0386 Violet Chachki, 0480 Walterina Markova, and 0515 Diane Torr come close, and those last two are kind of shaky.
I've also thought, more imaginatively, that an Anthurium with red veins, or highly contrasting veins, would probably be pretty cool, but that's not anything I've ever seen before (not in a species compatible with A. andreanum, anyway), so it was kind of hey-wouldn't-this-impossible-thing-be-cool. Except that one of the recently up-potted seedlings actually has red veins on the newer leaves; only on the undersides, not the tops, but still.
[2] ('Gemini,' 'White Gemini,' a NOID which is probably 'Pandola,' NOID pink, 'Orange Hot,' 'Red Hot,' NOID purple, 'Midori,' NOID red, 'Joli,' NOID green-and-pink, a NOID which is probably 'Peppermint Gemini,' 'Krypton,' and a NOID red-purple which might or might not also be 'Krypton' have all contributed genes to some degree or another.
'Otazu' was the seed parent of two seedlings, but both have died and I know for a fact that it didn't contribute any pollen because the plant was never actually here -- a reader sent me a pollinated spadix.
I don't know whether 'Florida' is part of the ancestral generation or not; it's never been pollinated, and I've never seen pollen, but some of the seedlings sure look a lot like it anyway.
And there's a NOID dark red which hasn't done anything yet. So that's thirteen or fourteen varieties for sure (depending on whether 'Krypton' = the NOID red-purple), one I'm not sure about, and one that might be involved someday but isn't yet.
[3] There is only one case, to my knowledge, where the queen herself is aware that a seedling's been named after her; the real-life Peaches Christ knows. She wasn't acquainted with Anthuriums, but I'm told that after someone described one to her, she was like, oh, cool.
