A seed grown carlablackiae of unknown parentage which I received in a trade several years back. After growing out many carlablackiae from different sources I sold the rest and decided on this one to pair with GPH001 for my breeding line. It has very dark leaf color with crisp white veins which are bright pink on emergence.

The famous plant originally grown by my friend Juan (@gayplantheaux). This is one of the earliest carlablackiae plants offered by Rory Antolak in the states belonging to a group of plants often referred to as "unnumbered clones" which are likely largely comprised of wild collected seed that were then grown out in the States. This plant has stunning black velvet foliage with a very unique vein pattern with incredibly vibrant neon pink emergent veins.

Another well known carlablackiae from the early Rory Antolak releases also most likely a wild collected seed grown plant from what I've gathered. This one is known for it's very thin/miinmal venation giving it a very unique spidery appearance.

A select holdback from the Round x GPH001 F1 cross demonstrating a unique narrow leaf shape with sparse venation and compact growth habit.

A select holdback from the Round x GPH001 F1 cross demonstrating a unique vein pattern with no discernible secondary veining and a relative lack of veins along the leaf edge giving it a very spidery appearance. The plant is also a compact grower.

A select holdback from the Round x GPH001 F1 cross demonstrating very interesting thick/bleeding veins with an unusually vertical orientation of the first set of basal veins giving them a cascading waterfall like appearance. This plant has an extremely compact growth habit akin to shield wall.

The first of my numbered "regular" or non-aberrant hold backs from the Round x GPH001 cross. This plant is probably the single blackest carlablackiae I have ever produced to this point. It holds this incredible color for multiple consecutive leaves. The plant also has bold white venation which is a bright pink on emergence.

The second of my numbered "regular" or non-aberrant hold backs from the Round x GPH001 cross. Another exceptionally dark plant with fantastic pink emergent veins. This one has a really nice vein pattern which is reminiscent of the GPH001 pollen parent.

Another of my numbered "regular" or non-aberrant hold backs from the Round x GPH001 cross. Another exceptionally dark plant with fantastic pink emergent veins. This one strikes a nice balance of traits between both parents.

Another of my numbered "regular" or non-aberrant hold backs from the Round x GPH001 cross. Another exceptionally dark plant with fantastic pink emergent veins. This one is fairly elongated with a thinner/more minimal venation than most siblings.

A wild clone I obtained from Scott Cohen originally collected by Rory Antolak.

A select seed grown plant from the round x RA1 cross notable for it's incredible form with nearly black leaves possessing a high basal vein count and a distinctive star-shaped sinus. The flagship antolakii of my breeding program thus far.

Another select antolakii from the Round x RA1 F1 batch and sibling to Dark Star. This plant has a more elongated shape and is the most similar plant from the batch to the RA1 parent but with much greater vigor and a much better seed parent than RA1.

An exceptional clone originally from Rory Antolak via Scott Cohen. The plant has a very unique look with exceptionally dark leaves a very interesting sinus area featuring dog-eared/forward turned lobes. The plant also occasionally demonstrates a partially fused sinus.

The iconic wild clone from Rory Antolak notable for its elegant black leaves and fine basal veins. In my opinion the premier wild antolakii clone.

A select hold back from the Round x Felix F1 cross. This is one of my rounder and more pillowy plants from my antolakii breeding programs and an exceptional seed parent.

Another select hold back from the Round x Felix F1 cross. This one was the most similar to the Felix parent from those that I grew out.

In my opinion the perfect kunayalense, originally from the collection of Paul Marcellini of Understory Oasis. The plant has a beautiful round form and rippled texture. Emergent leaves start out black and progress through a range of colors as the leaf expands. This kuna hardens off a darker color than any other I've grown and has prominent blue/gray undertones.

Another fantastic clone from the collection of Paul Marcellini of Understory Oasis. This one has prominent pink venation as the leaf expands which contrasts to the rainbow oil slick emergents. This one has a bit of a finer bullate texture compared to PM5.

A newer addition to my collection, this is another standout from Understory Oasis. This one also checks all the kuna boxes with it's round shape, extremely bullate texture and beautiful oil slick emergents.

This is the dressleri that started it all for me. This was the first dressleri I owned and at the time by far the largest plant purchase I had ever made. A select F2 dark clone from Jay Vannini's RG dressleri breeding line. Since nearly killing it immediately, it has been a very vigorous, easy going plant and a great seed parent. Still one of my favorite plants in the collection and one of the most exceptional examples of the species.

A select clone from Jay Vannini's F1 batches. Formerly known as F1 "Ivy" after the original collector who owned the plant. This a medium sized dressleri with beautiful dark reddish purple emergents and prominent forward turned kissing lobes.

Another of Jay Vannini's select F1 clones. This one was formerly named F1 "Jay" again after the original collector who owned the plant. This is a larger plant with nice deep purple emergents. In the right conditions this one will show a nice pink on the veins that persists until the leaf fully hardens off.

The last of the F1 clones that I have. This one is a smaller plant which stays quite compact. The leaves are verty round and nicely textured. A beautiful plant I'm looking forward to integrating into my breeding program.
