Alocasia like this

Steve in France · 04-21-2008, 07:06 PM

I was wondering if anyone has a pup of a big Alocasia like the one I grew in France. Here are a couple of pics.

Sorry to those who cannot see the pics , if you look in members galleries under Steve in France they should be the first two images of Alocasia.

Thanks
Later

wow! those are awesome!

Are you sure they're alocasia? They look a whole lot like Xanthosoma to me.....

Steve in France · 04-21-2008, 09:43 PM

Alocasia for sure, sorry I do not have outdoor pics with more erect growth but in just like an Alocasia Mac but with purple stems. It got to about 8 ft tall before flowering. I gave the Mother plant to Andrew in Holland and I hope he still has it . I gave Bamboo Mark in the UK one but he killed it. I originally got my plant from Simon of Amulree Exotics (Turn it Tropical) in the UK . It had come as a mislabelled plant to Simon and I was very new to Exotic plants so had no idea of a name for it, nor did Simon or Paul Spracklin who was with me that day could put a name to it. I grow Xanthoma's so I know for sure it's not one, I wish I could grow a Xanthoma that big in France , perhaps here in the US I can :-)
Thanks

Looks good Randy , I just PM'ed you before I saw these, like I say whatever you have. I'll keep some pups back from my new stuff for you too.
Talk later

Hi encore guys , Lari Ann says it's a Alocasia odora 'azurea' , so there is an ID. Now getting one is another problem :-)
I'll do my best to find one.
