The anthuriums that were close enough in proximity to have cross pollinated with the big birdnest were itself (duh), "Nikki", an andreanum that gets HUGE red/orange flowers, pedatoradiautm, gracile, and radicans.

Of course, if a bug was flying around the greenhouse, making the rounds, it could have stopped on any one of a few dozen anthuriums (reflexinervium, willifordii, jenmanii, superbum, dresslerii, crystalinum, etc etc etc) that bloom regularly and picked up some pollen.

The fact that the leaves are way out on those wide stolon-like stems says perhaps gracile to me.

I have grown gracile from seed that it selfed with and it has the same leaves, but instead of a kind of wide paddle shape it has longer more narrow spear shaped leaves.
