Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia gigantea-unusual inflorcense arrangement

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.
