If Steve uses your photos, he usually gives cridits to the photographer. The yellowing then loss of older leaves on your Alocasia may be ''normal''. Your second plant with the divided leaf blades is A. brancifolia, it used to be named Xenophya brancifolia, but was placed into synonmy with the genus Alocasia.

Having my BFA in photography, but using the camera on my iPhone may have something to do with that. The spathe has now rolled back to completely expose the spadix.... Also I have another flower coming... So if someone wants pics, let me know... +More Sent from my iPhone On Apr 7, 2008, at 5:59 AM, ju-bo at msn.com wrote: > > > > ---------------------------------------- >> To: aroid-l at gizmoworks.com >> From: sparky4114 at mac.com >> Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:28:16 -0400 >> Subject: [Aroid-l] alocasia reticulata? in flower and mystery guest >> alocasia > > Dear Thom, > > Steve Lucas should be interested in a GOOD photo of your A. > reticulata`s bloom, so if poss., cut away a portion of the spathe to > expose the entire spadix and its various structures in a close-up > photo, and get a good photo of the entite plant AND one leaf > blade.
