It will be interesting to directly compare Jack's Giant and Thai Giant. Please continue to post pics. That fontanesii is really nice.

I'll try to do some pictures, but Jack's Giant and Thai Giant have a very different look. Jack's Giant looks like a big standard Green EE in it's form, but the Thai Giant has a very different "look" more spread out with leaves more pointing out like an Alocasia. Jack's Giant has the leaf more attached at the back like a "shield" Jack's Giant also pups more so it's more of a cluster, but it is supposed to get really tall.
