Colocasia 'Excalibur'

From: Eric Schmidt leu242 at yahoo.com> on 2006.10.19 at 20:50:07(14744) Has anyone determined what species Colocasia 'Excalibur' is ? Is it even Colocasia? I had heard speculation that it might even be a Caladium.

There is are two varieties of Excalibur with different leaf colors, altho the name on both is Excalibur. I bought one of each. Russ +More Has anyone determined what species Colocasia 'Excalibur' is ?

From: Brian Williams pugturd at alltel.net> on 2006.10.20 at 05:09:11(14751) It is a Caladium picturatum species. I believe it originated out of the collection from Fairchild when Craig Allen was their he had it. Julius would be the expert but I am sure it is Caladium. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
