Anthurium ‘Dark Phoenix’ × ‘Fort Sherman’ is a hybrid between Anthurium Dark Phoenix and Anthurium Fort Sherman. The plant shows strong influence from both parents: rich, dark velvety foliage from Fort Sherman and especially dramatic venation from Dark Phoenix. Leaves may have subtle variation depending on light (emerging leaves often more intensely coloured), and the shape tends toward broad heart or spade‑forms with a slight arch or gentle pendant effect in mature growth.

Because both parents are “papillilaminum‑type” selections (with Fort Sherman being a prized dark form and Dark Phoenix contributing strong veining and contrasting tones), this hybrid rewards good conditions: deeply saturated colours, strong vein contrast, and leaf texture.

Native to:
This is a cultivated hybrid; ancestors are tropical rainforest understorey species / selections native to Central and South America. The parental forms grow in shaded, humid, warm forest habitats with dappled light and rich organic soil. The hybrid retains preference for similar indoor conditions: warm, humid, low direct light, and a substrate rich in organic matter.

Water:
Water when the top third of the substrate has begun to dry; don’t allow the soil to stay soggy. Use a chunky, well‑draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, maybe a little fine sphagnum or coarse coco coir) to give air to the roots and avoid waterlogging. Let excess water drain out fully. Overwatering causes root issues; letting things get too dry will reduce leaf vibrancy and may slow growth.

Light:
Bright filtered light is best. Avoid harsh direct sun (especially afternoon sun) that can scorch or bleach the velvety surface or fade red veins. Morning or late afternoon light (filtered) or light through a sheer curtain works well. If light is insufficient, venation will be less distinct and leaf colour more uniform and muted. Supplemental lighting in winter months may help maintain colour and growth.

Humidity:
High humidity (about 65‑80 %) favours best growth and colour expression. Dry air causes browning at leaf edges, loss of sheen, and dulling of contrast. Given its size (not enormous), this hybrid can be grown in a humid enclosure or greenhouse‑style cabinet, or in moist microclimates (humidifier, grouping plants) indoors.

Temperature:
Maintain warm stable temperatures around 18‑27 °C. Avoid letting the temperature drop below ~ 15‑16 °C. Cold drafts or sudden dips in temperature will stress the plant and may reduce leaf quality or cause damage. Consistent warmth helps with bright vein contrast and healthy leaf emergence.

Doctor Aphra and Luke Skywalker - An Entertaining Duo!
Format: Paperback
I've greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War left me a little unsatisfied.  I'm very happy to say that the next installment--Screaming Citadel--righted the course and returned the series to its high standard. Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series.  It also has issues from Doctor Aphra.  Obviously, the two comics crossed over with each other to deliver this story as  whole. Doctor Aphra has an ancient crystal supposedly housing the sentience of a powerful Jedi.  She needs the Queen of the Screaming Citadel to access it for her, and she needs Luke Skywalker to entice the queen into doing so.  You'll have to read the book for the details on using Luke as bait.  Doctor Aphra sells it to Luke as a chance for him to encounter an actual Jedi master, and it's a chance for her to witness a remnant of the ancient past because she is an archaeologist after all, albeit a bit of an immoral one. That's a pretty good premise to achieve what this story is really all about--watching Luke and Aphra interact.  I believe Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars universe in decades.  She first appeared in the Darth Vader series, and she won over the audience so thoroughly that she quickly earned her own title.  Honestly, though Aphra works best when pitted against the pure of heart, or at least those on the side of the Rebels.  She's Aphra, so of course she manipulates Luke, double-crosses him, saves his skin a few times, then cheats him again.  That's just who she is. It's also interesting to see a rebellious streak in Luke as he jaunts off with Aphra without telling Han, Leia, or anyone else for that matter.  We know his dad didn't always follow protocol, so these little deviations are always revealing when Luke is concerned.  It's also fun to see him beginning to realize his power.  This particular story takes place soon after A New Hope, so Luke has not yet begun to completely understand what he has at his disposal--though this book does depict Luke having some pretty cool moments with his burgeoning abilities. We also have quite a bit of Han, Leia, and another invaluable addition to the mythology named Sana Starros.  All three get their moment to shine as Han finds more and more of the hero within, Leia further establishes herself as the capable leader she is, and Sana Starros slowly reveals more and more of her past to the reader.  Guess what?  Not only does she have deep connections to Han Solo, but it's heavily hinted that she is also tied to Doctor Aphra as well.  The specifics may surprise you. And, as always, Aphra's versions of C3PO and R2D2 steal the show.  They are named 0-0-0 and BT-1.  They are basically the murderous, demented, evil version of our favorite droids, and they are forever a delight. The story of Screaming Citadel itself is entertaining.  The art is very pleasing to the eye and keeps the plot moving at a quick pace.  At times the faces of the characters based off of real life actors look almost photo realistic, which is sometimes jarring when the rest of the panel does not look so true to life.  Of course, the best quality of the book is simply seeing all of these characters play off of each other.  It's refreshing to have such rounded, charismatic new characters as Aphra, Sana, Triple-Zero, and Bee-Tee 1 making waves with our legendary favorites.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid
Format: Paperback
Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel is a crossover collection of the main Star Wars comic series and the Doctor Aphra series. The Arc revolves around the Queen of The Screaming Citadel being the only one who can open a relic containing an ancient Jedi master. Aphra then teams up with Luke Skywalker and we have our crossover event. The story itself is good. A queen with parasitic bugs controlling a planet is uncharted territory for Star Wars and it works. There were great action moments, plots painting the Empire in a morally grey light than the traditional evil one. Doctor Aphra Marvel's golden girl character was funny in this and her chemistry with Luke worked. It didn't feel forced like Marvel was trying to use the Original Characters to build-up their new ones. Where this comic fails is the inconsistent art style as this is a collection you get different art with each issue. Its starts of good and then takes a nosedive in the Aphra issue in the volume. Bad art aside Screaming Citadel was an enjoyable crossover. Doctor Aphra is the best new character to come out of this new Marvel Disney run. Screaming Citadel is worth the read it was a nice crossover that delves more into the Fantasy elements of Star Wars and works as Star Wars has been Space Wizards since 1977.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.
