New Aglaonema Selected for testing.....

Had a couple of nurseryman in the research house last week and we selected a new aglaonema for propagation and testing....I only had one 8-inch pot of it so today I divided it into 12 pots. Hopefully by Xmas I can recut it and get going on the research we need to complete before eventual release (2 years from now).
It has extremely dark blackish leaves highlighted by a silver venation running along the lateral leaf veins. It should be awsome. It is not good to show the plant at this time (don't want to start the patent clock ticking) so instead here are a couple of photos of the reasearch greenhouse.

Here is a link to Breeding Dieffenbachia and Aglaonema



Below is a bench of Aglaonema hybrids from which the new one was selected.
