Alocasia 'Orinoco Gold'

From: "Marge Talt" <mtalt at clubhouse-designs.com> on 2004.11.23 at 23:40:13(12407) Hi All, Has anybody heard of this cultivar? A friend emailed me, having acquired a plant under this name and not able to find any information about it. If it is a valid cultivar, does anybody know anything about it or its cultural requirements?
