Identify this Colocasia
I've bought a rhizome on E-Bay one month a go from a French man who
said it belongs to a Colocasia gigantea he personally collected in Asia. Now I have a very small plant, but can you identify it? Here are the pictures: http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploa...5/DSC_3514.JPG http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploa...5/DSC_3520.JPG http://www.bananas.org/gallery/uploa...5/DSC_3519.JPG Is it really a Colocasia gigantea or it could be a more common Colocasia esculenta? What are the scientific characteristic of a Colocaosia gigantea? Can you help me please? Best regards Stefano |

Re: Identify this Colocasia
Looks similar to my Jacks Giant, but honestly, at that size, it'd be hard to say exactly what it is.

Re: Identify this Colocasia
I was going to say the same thing! But it is too small for a definitive ID.
