Re: Aroid id please?

Dear Steve,

At first glance, my impulse is that it might be a seedling of a "Lady Jane"-type Anthurium (A. andreanum X A. lilacianum spelling?).  IF Tom`s Anthuriums are NOT of this ilk, maybe the seed might have fallen into the pot back when the Orchid was at the original nursery??
Let us know!!
