Alocasia marcrohiza Variegated Mutation

Photo Details
Poster: Tog Tan (see this users gallery) The smaller plant on the left is a another mutation I found recently. It has a creamy white fuzzy background compared to the regular form of the Variegated A marcrohiza on the right. The regular form has a clean white background with a definite demarcation of the two colors. Let's see what it turns out to be as it gets bigger.

If I'm not mistaken Tog Tan, is not the tuber of this plant edible, when prepared and cooked?

Yep, it is called Keladi in Malay. It is also known as Yam or Taro. The Aborigines eat the jungle plants while the town folks eat the Colocasia esculenta cultivar. You can mash it up like 'taters, cube and stir fry, steam, you name it. Here we even have a wonderful ice cream which is flavored by it. Very nice!
