Joy Re: Alocasia Shopping

Went out again today and got some plants and here are a couple of pix to share;

Alocasia lowii Variety - This is one of the many varieties of this species. Leaf can get quite big and thick and has a beautiful slivery grey upper surface. The newly acquired plant is not well hydrated in this pix.


Alocasia Hybrids
The plant on the left is a medium sized type plant when full grown. This one has a sharper leaf apex. The one on the right is a compact mini with rounded leaf apex. Both are a very shiny dark green with striking white venation.


Caladium Scarlet Thai Hybrid - This looks like the catch of the day. This is the most striking colored Thai hybrid I have seen to date. The Thai Caladium hybrids are smaller in size than the American ones but they are very flashy in their coloration.


Other than these I got also got an Alocasia brancifolia, a Licuala orbicularis at a bargain price and like another 10 other nice plants. Great day!
