Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Black Polly

From: "Denis Rotolante" <denis at skg.com> on 2009.12.14 at 14:47:28 Alison:   Please delineate what the initials "EA" stand for. Is that a store name or a country abbreviation or something else altogether?   Denis Silver Krome Gardens Homestead FL. -----Original Message----- From: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of starsell@aol.com Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 9:57 PM To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Subject: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Black Polly Dear All,   Adding to the recent discussion of Alocasia Amazonica  including Black Polly I have found something I haven't yet encountered:   The Black Polly plants that I have had for at least a couple of years are the ones EA has sold with that tag that look a lot like Amazonica only a little more compact blade and blacker face.   This week at a local greenhouse I found that they had some there tagged "Black Polly" that were nothing like the EA one.   It was more like a lauterbachii with a very dark cast to it.   Has anyone seen this new appearance in the trade?    EA stopped selling Amazonica everywhere and now you may be hard-pressed to find one at all in any box store.  Only the blacker one, now someone has co opted the name for yet another plant.   I just call them "trade names".     Alison ------=_NextPart_000_003A_01CA7CA2.75DDD960----===============4504537517735933088==
