Anthurium carlablackiae 'District'

Anthurium carlablackiae ‘District’ is a great example of the species. As the plant matures, the secondary veins become increasingly subtle, creating a clean appearance that really highlights the primary veins.

I originally acquired this plant from a grower named Brooks, who was known on Instagram as District Plant Daddy. Sadly, Brooks has since passed away. He wasn’t entirely certain of the plant’s original source as he had acquired carlablackiae from both Scott and Wuhoo Tropicals. As a result, its exact lineage remains uncertain.

I named this particular plant ‘District’ in honor of Brooks and as a tribute to where I received it from.

One of the standout characteristics of ‘District’ is its mature leaves. They develop an exceptionally dark coloration, maintain a beautifully rounded shape and can reach an impressive size for a carlablackiae. As the plant has matured, I’ve also started noticing a pronounced depression along the central vein, creating a rib-like appearance similar to what I’ve observed in some of the PM carlablackiae.

‘District’ has proven to be an easy and vigorous grower. It is also an exceptional seed parent and has produced some outstanding crosses including Araña as well as several exceptional carlablackiae offspring that can be found throughout my mother plant collection.
