Colocasia gigantea-unusual inflorcense arrangement

From: Eric Schmidt <leu242 at yahoo.com> on 2008.10.15 at 13:53:24(18637) One of our [i]Colocasia gigantea[/i] is flowering. The inflorecenses are arranged in a flat plane. Is this normal for this species or is this a mutation?

From: "Alan Galloway" <alan_galloway at bellsouth.net> on 2008.10.15 at 16:35:58(18639) Eric, The flowering structure that you mention is typical for this clone of Colocasia gigantea, known as "Thailand Giant Strain". The clone comes into flowering within a few months, even when planted from seed. I grow this clone, as well as the nomal clone of C. gigantea. I don't ever recall seeing the nomal clone flower, so can't say if its flowering structure is the same as "Thailand Giant strain" Plant Delights nursery offers both clones: http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog/Fall/page25.html Alan +More ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Schmidt" To: "Discussion of aroids" Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 9:53 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] Colocasia gigantea-unusual inflorcense arrangement > One of our [i]Colocasia gigantea[/i] is flowering.

From: Brian Williams <pugturd at alltel.net> on 2008.10.16 at 13:30:34(18644) This is common for Gigantea the Thailand strain. The common form I had grown for years with out ever seeing a hint of a flower. That was until several years ago when I made it a goal to get it to flower. I put the plant on a timed watering system and hit it with a lot of fertilizers in the hopes of it producing a inflorescence. At the end of summer it did flower and the flowers were much the same as on the Thailand strain but they were not as developed. One of the oddest things was the fact that in this situation the plant which commonly suckered for me started producing runners which I have never seen on a gigantea before. This form seems much different than the other clone having odd growths under the leaves never flowering and constantly suckering. They tend to act much like to separate species but the flower were unmistakable for this group. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
