About Anthurium 'Cauca Queen'

Anthurium 'Cauca Queen' combines the rounded, near-peltate blade and silvery-green venation of Anthurium forgetii with the strongly rugose, corrugated surface of Anthurium rugulosum. The result is a rounder-leaved sibling to 'Canal Queen', showing more visible silvery venation running through a pronounced rugose texture rather than the darker, more monochromatic finish papillilaminum crosses tend to produce. It keeps forgetii's characteristically reduced sinus, giving the leaf an almost shield-like outline.

Field Notes · Vol. 118 July 2026

The Rounder of the Two Queens

Where Canal Queen leans papillilaminum-dark, Cauca Queen leans forgetii-round and forgetii-silver — the shared rugulosum parent gives both their corrugated surface, but the second parent does most of the work distinguishing them at a glance. If a seller can't tell you which velvet-leaf parent sits alongside the rugulosum, ask for a clear photo of the leaf outline before assuming which cross you're getting.

Retail Price?The average price across tracked UK retailers (nurseries and specialty stores).
Not tracked
Not currently stocked by tracked UK retailers
Market Trend?Recent 4-week median vs. the prior 4 weeks. A rise only counts as 'Rising' when it's corroborated across the sample (not just one high sale) and confidence is decent — otherwise it's labelled a 'Spike'. Declines aren't treated as bad news: they're the expected trend as stock gets propagated.
Not enough history to calculate a trend

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses online sold listings converted to GBP at current exchange rates, excluding extreme outliers to ensure a fair-value guide. Falls back to UK retail average when auction data is unavailable.
