Anthurium Hookeri Black Dragon – A Rare, Exotic Jewel with Dark Green Foliage
The Anthurium Hookeri Black Dragon is a stunning and rare bird’s nest Anthurium, known for its thick, dark green, almost black leaves with a glossy, leathery texture. This unique variety is perfect for plant collectors who love bold, sculptural plants with an otherworldly appearance.
Wild Texture Dossier
A bold bird’s-nest anthurium with heavy, crocodile-skin corrugation and a deep, inky green ground. ‘Black Dragon’ holds an upright, self-supporting crown that reads architectural and rugged—perfect when you want foliage with attitude.
Spec Highlights
- Botanical: Anthurium hookeri ‘Black Dragon’ (bird’s-nest type)
- Habit: upright rosette; stout petioles; broad, paddle-like blades
- Surface: bullate (heavily pebbled) texture; satin-to-matte finish; thick leaf substance
- Interior scale: commonly ~45–80 cm (18–31 in) with steady routines
- Pet guidance: display out of nibbling reach
Placement Playbook
- Stands out on pedestals or low consoles—let the leaf texture catch side light.
- Pairs beautifully with smooth, matte planters; contrast with fine-leaf aroids for a curated mix.
- Works as a grounding piece among brighter variegates.
Light & Climate
- Illumination: diffused daylight or gentled morning rays; screen harsh midday sun to protect the bullate surface.
- Humidity: comfortable room moisture around 55–70% RH with mild airflow.
- Temperature: 20–29 °C (68–85 °F); keep away from cold drafts for crisp edges.
Water & Substrate
- Hydration rhythm: water when the top layer feels dry to the touch; drench, then drain completely—no standing water.
- Root zone: open, fast-draining blend—orchid bark + pumice/coarse perlite + coco chips; a light sphagnum accent for buffering.
- Crown sits slightly high in the mix to discourage basal wetness.
Feeding & Upkeep
- Nutrition: balanced fertilizer at ¼–½ strength during active growth; ease off as days cool.
- Grooming: dust leaves occasionally so the sculpted texture reads clean.
- Orientation: quarter-turn the planter every couple of weeks for even presentation.
Set-In Notes
Begin in cushioned light and ramp brightness gradually over 10–14 days. New flushes typically show the sharpest corrugation and richest dark tone.

Had a few issues
Format: Kindle
This was definitely not my favorite romance by this author. I had a couple of issues with it. First, I did not particularly care for Fallon. She had a tendency to make her problems into Savannah's problems that I really didn't care for. I really didn't like in particular how she blamed Savannah for her ex husband's behavior, and how unsympathetic she was about Savannah's body image problem. Also, I've noticed that all the male exes of MCs in Smith's books tend to be just horrible people. I haven't read all of her books, but I can't think of any where the male ex wasn't a jerk of some flavor.
The romance between Savannah and Fallon didn't feel like it got enough time before they were moving into HEA territory. It felt like a lot of the emotional bonding/growth that normally occurs in romance books was replaced by spicy scenes...of which there were quite a few. So, it felt like they went from FWB to ILY pretty suddenly without really getting to know each other.
There is a third act breakup. It occurs pretty early in the third act and takes up quite a bit of time in the book. How much time it takes up chronologically is less clear. I can understand why Fallon pulled away, all of her PTSD triggers were being pulled. I can't understand why they failed to get back together in one scene, but suddenly the next chapter, without anything changing suddenly they were back together. They never really addressed how Fallon could move forward being exposed to her PTSD triggers so frequently either.

Life After Loss
Format: Kindle
This is another fantastic, emotional offering from Adrian J. Smith. Savannah is a single mother who has recently left an abusive marriage and also lost her brother. Fallon is her attorney's admin who lost both parents as a child as a result of domestic abuse. Neither wants anything serious but they are drawn to one another and embark on a friends with benefits relationship. We see their grief realisticly depicted, Fallon's from childhood and Savannah's more recent, and how their budding relationship affects how they each deal with their grief. This is a standalone work, but is related to two prior books whose characters make an appearance here - Shameless Expectations and Follow My Lead. Although not required, if you'd like additional background information on some of the other characters, I recommend you read those as well.
I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Can romance win?
Format: Kindle
The title is apt regarding the characters in this novel. Fallon and Savannah meet at a cemetery. Fallon is obnoxious. If I had been in Savannah’s shoes, I would’ve walked away, but then there would be no story, or a very different one.
Both women have issues related to their respective families, as do many of the other characters. Everyone is flawed. While this is gritty in places, it’s also full of love – for family and friends, past and present. It turns out that they’ve had similar experiences in their lives, either currently or in the past. Smith deftly brought the two women together in scenes that highlighted their circumstances. This novel drives home the point that we never know what other people are hiding and coping with in silence, nor how similar our lives might be.

Aww! Lesbian Hallmark movie in a book
Format: Kindle
Yes, its a lesbian hallmark movie in a book. And, yes, being that it's a "sweet" romance, there's no love-making. Sad. Normally I would forego the sweet romances but when these two authors come together it's always a good book. So I gave it a go. I have to say that I really didn't miss the love-making; it was really that good of a story. I'm surprised to say that. The characters were great but Grinchy Celeste holds a special place in my heart. And the way she and Natalie bicker I got the biggest kick out of. Truly enjoyed the book. Keep 'em coming TB and Miranda!
