About This Cross

This hybrid is a deliberate merge of shadow driven velvet genetics and disciplined Carlablackiae structure.

The maternal side originates from Doc Block’s Black Widow 43’ program, paired to GPH001 Carlablackiae, one of the most respected modern Carla expressions for depth and refinement.

The paternal side reinforces control through Carlablackiae × RL “CaRL”, bringing symmetry, stacking discipline, and clean structural execution.

This is not a novelty hybrid.
It is a layered Carlablackiae driven build with darkness, substance, and long term form in mind.

Lineage Deep Dive

Doc Block Black Widow 43’

Black Widow 43’ is part of Doc Block’s darker velvet work, selected for shadow density, contrast, and atmospheric presence rather than flashy coloration. In crosses, Black Widow influence often pushes
• Darker blade tone earlier in development
• Heavier velvet texture
• Bold contrast between blade and venation
• A moody, dramatic finish rather than glossy brightness

Doc Block’s Black Widow lines are known for high variance with serious ceiling, making them ideal for collectors willing to grow out and select.

GPH Carlablackiae (GPH001)

The Carlablackiae used in this pairing is GPH001, a benchmark Carla known for
• Deep black phase velvet that hardens dark rather than fading
• Clean, controlled vein structure
• Balanced proportions and elegant taper
• Reliable expression across size classes

When combined with Black Widow, GPH001 acts as a stabilizer, keeping darkness refined rather than chaotic. This is where the shadow becomes structured.

RL “CaRL” Influence

The RL CaRL side reinforces
• Structural symmetry
• Thicker leaf substance
• Clean shouldering and disciplined lobing
• Strong petiole support and leaf hold

RL influence ensures this cross matures into intentional form, not just raw darkness.

⸻

Trait Potential

• Deep, moody velvet foliage with shadow driven tone
• Strong vein presence that may glow subtly against dark blades
• Possible sinus or midrib blush tones inherited from Black Widow lineage
• Thick substance and stable leaf hold from RL CaRL
• Metallic or muted sheen during new flushes or high humidity
• Noticeable variation between siblings, with high ceiling phenotypes
