Anthurium SKG Pink Lemonade is a familiar mother plant to those who have followed Le Toro Jardin for some time. If you look through our breeding collection, you will notice that we have used this remarkable Anthurium in many of our hybrids.
The Origin of Anthurium SKG Pink Lemonade
Anthurium SKG Pink Lemonade originated from Bill Rotolante. Its name was inspired by the brilliant pink color of its emergent leaves. The cultivar has also been officially registered in the Aroid Cultivar Registry, where you can learn more about its history and characteristics.
At its healthiest and most mature stage, our SKG Pink Lemonade produced leaves measuring approximately 80 centimeters. This is an impressive leaf size for a silver Anthurium.
What makes our particular plant stand out from many other SKG Pink Lemonade specimens is the remarkably dark background of its mature leaves. Its new leaves also emerge in a brighter, more vivid shade of pink.
These distinctive characteristics were already visible when we first acquired the plant. Although it was still small at the time, it clearly stood apart from the other plants around it.
Exceptional Traits Passed on to Its Offspring
After growing Anthurium SKG Pink Lemonade for many years and using it extensively in our breeding program, we discovered something particularly interesting.
A significant proportion of its offspring develop much thicker silver venation. Their emergent leaves also tend to display stronger shades of pink and purple.
Because our mother plant has such a distinctive dark leaf background, this quality is often passed on to the next generation as well. The darkness of its offspring has a recognizable character, one that is quite easy to identify once you are familiar with this particular breeding line.
For this reason, we have always considered our Anthurium SKG Pink Lemonade a symbol of passing exceptional qualities on to the next generation.
Many of its offspring have grown into truly impressive plants. Some have even developed characteristics that are more striking than those of their mother plant.
