2 clones from my anthurium seedlings

I posted a long while ago about my anthuriums that I grew from seed. The seeds were collected from a very large birdsnest anthurium but it cross pollinated with something else (most probably A. gracilis).

Out of about 15 or so plants I grew out from the seeds, there are 2 clone types split almost down the middle. Its weird, LOL. One has very narrow lighter green leaves with a kind of flat finish on long stems. The other has darker green more paddle shaped leaves with an iridescent sheen in the light also on long stems. Here is a photo of the narrow leaf one

Here is a photo of the wider leaf one

Here is a photo of the plant that produced the seeds

Aren;t genetics weird, LOL?

It is results like you see that are one reason why I like to hybridize. Surprises are always possible, and I have a few that have shown up in my deliberate crosses as well. I wrote an article here that describes one genetic mechanism that can lead to such surprises:
