Named after American physician-botanist, Dr. Jeff Block’s, lovely wife, is a show-stopping, nearly as lovely anthurium with a bold, modern edge. Say hello to DocBlock’s infamous Michelle®! This award-winning anthurium features gorgeous, heart-shaped leaves that shimmer with velvety opulence, in colors ranging from burgundy-purple to intense, dark green. Leaves have striking venation, in shades of bright white and pink, adding dramatic contrast. Unlike the outers of each leaf, which feature rich, dark hues, the undersides lighten from lavender to pale green over time, adding additional contrast and dimension. Each leaf on Michelle® is a visual masterpiece, as elegant as its namesake!
Briëlle™ carries a hint of shine in the name, and the DocBlock® line delivers it in velvet: a cleanly drawn, softly lustrous leaf that Dr. Jeff Block spent decades selecting for, and that turns up again and again in the DocBlock Premier™ crosses drawn from this line. This is the refined end of the collector Anthuriums, less theatrical than its dark-veined relatives and all the more composed for it. Give it gentle, indirect light set back from a bright window, keep the humidity up, and let the top of the soil dry between waterings. It arrives potted in a white ceramic cachepot.
Expect slightly elongated leaves with reflective red velvet emergents, pink-tinged veins, and pink leaf reverses set against deep green mature foliage. One of the most sought-after Premier pairings in the DocBlock portfolio.
