[aroid-l] Colocasia hybrids

From: Brian Williams <pugturd at alltel.net> on 2004.07.13 at 23:42:48(11753) I am looking to do more work with crossing colocasias. I have been having a hard time working with them as they seem to produce little pollen and I am not to familiar with the exact time to pollenate them or if the ones I have been trying to cross will produce seed or if they are sterile. Does anyone know of some forms that have been known to produce seed? I have never had seed and have attempted over 50 crosses. Which plants should I be working with to make seed? which of these would be sterile or viable? Or does anyone know ? If anyone has a form that is known for producing I would like to see pics of it. How large would berries be?
