Hi everybody!
I want to introduce myself first.
My name is Jos, I'm a 31 year old plant enthusiast with a background in bio-engineering.
6 months ago I have started my own company growing and selling rare aroids for the EU market.
My goals are to expand my company to get involved in cultivation and hybridisation of these wonderful plants using the latest techniques.
As I am still learning everyday when it comes to the complexity of the aroid genus, this forum has been an important source of information (in compliment to the info on aroid.org)
I have been struggling a lot with correct determination of the plants we have in the nursery (and as I can read on the internet, I am not the only one).
I find it very important to be as transparant as possible to our customers and that's why we waiver on the product detail page if we are not sure about the exact determination of the plant.
However, we have 2 Anthuriums types in the nursery which were purchased as 'Veitchii' and 'Chamberlainum', but didn't quite look like those plants when arrived.
Yesterday I spent a vast amount of time trying to determine the plants, and I ended up with 'Moodeanum' and 'Chamberlainii aff'.
Yet I know this is likely not correct as both of those are very rare to find.
Can you help me to get a better determination?
Plant 1 (determined as Charmberlainii aff by me):
Plant 2 (determined as Moodeanum by me):
Plant 3 (determined as Moodeanum by me):
(looking at the pictures 2 and 3 are probably different plants too as the stem is quite different and so is the leaf shape)
