Created in the mid-1990s by Steve Nock of Ree Gardens, it is a select, one-of-a-kind seedling from a cross between Anthurium clarinervium and Anthurium pedatoradiatum. Because this exact genetic form has never been successfully recreated from seed, every authentic 'Delta Force' must be propagated via careful tissue culture or clonal stem cuttings, making it exceptionally rare and a true \"holy grail\" for plant collectors. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eThe \"One-Hit Wonder\" Mutation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Despite being a cross between \u003cem class=\"eujQNb\"\u003eAnthurium clarinervium\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem class=\"eujQNb\"\u003eAnthurium pedatoradiatum\u003c\/em\u003e, repeating that exact cross does \u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e yield another 'Delta Force'.
