Wow! Do you find that all the blossoms and then seeds reduce the size of the plant? We chop off flowers from our colocasias (the actually can work as cut flowers - same with philodendron - a wild ! flower!!) to force more energy into the plant (we think :-) Same for alocasias.
And THANKS for giving the new name, amazing how many plants are being changed around.
If you get any extra seeds this year we would love to get some (National Botanic Garden Foundation, 26175 Ticonderoga Rd, Chantilly, Va. 20152 Atten Peter Knop)
