Wooowwwww babies...love to see healthy babies...

I thought you were joking about A forgettii but I guess it is a real name.
It's always nice to see seedlings. It will be fun to see them grow.

This is Mama Forgetii


The hallmark of forgetii is that it doesn't have a sinus (a split at the top)

That's a good looking plant!

Wow, that is gorgeous!!

Thank you ladies! Its one of my favorites. I am raising so many seedlings. I also got another one in a trade from a friend here is Gainesville...mine is considered a 'dark form'...it can get almost black later in the spring/summer when there is a lot more light than winter


the one I got as a trade is a much lighter green form. It just put out a new leaf


and I planted a few seeds in the pot that came from my dark form so it will be a multi pot and I can better compare the color difference

Do you plan your crosses? I am guessing at least one is by your labels.

Sometimes. Some plants have the ability to self pollinate. Anthurium vittariifolium, crystallinum and clarinervium do, so can forgetii and some others. Some I try are cross myself with others

Really though. How did that plant get that name? Were they drinking too much Cola back in 1906? Did they forget the samples on the dock?

@Gina1960 congrats with new growth. Did you cross pollinate them yourself?

That's not one I would forget!

Not at all!

I did pollinate this particular forgetii spathe myself with 2 other pollens but its a toss up what took. Have to wait and see you the seedlings look when they are bigger
