This is only the first table full. I have other flats out in the greenhouse left to start when these are done. I do sell some of them. What I tend to do is, either I sell the berries or seeds directly from the plant (it depends if its something I want to spend my time growing out or not). If I decide to keep the seeds and grow them myself, I grow them up to a stage where I can see 'differences' in the seedlings. The most unusual variations, I keep and grow out further. The others, I sell or trade. I have virtually stopped buying new plants myself...I mean, why should I when I can make my own LOL? I cross different plants to make hybrids.
This is an example of 2 seedlings I kept from one grow out. These are Anthurium clarinervium x faustomirandae. These 2 plants were grown from the same crop of seeds, planted at the same time, from a single spadix, under the same conditions. And they look quite different
And these are two Anthurium forgetii hybrids. Again, from the same crop of seeds off of a single spadix. They have similar form but very different coloration and veining
When I sell, I sell reasonably. A nice seedling the size of the ones above is usually $30-35. Most people try and sell this stuff for $80-150 per seedling. So silly.
The first forgetii cross was almost definitely a cross between A. forgetii and A. besseae x magnificum. It has all the hallmarks and is easily identifiable. But the second one, even though they are brothers, resembles the parent forgetii in coloration and the bess x mag not at all!
