Aroids

From: Stangl Frank B Civ OC-ALC/LPPSB Frank.Stangl at tinker.af.mil> on 2001.03.30 at 16:28:06(6117) I have been growing Colocasia Esculenta (Green Taro) successfully in Oklahoma now for four years and would like to add some different varieties. Am interested in any of this family of Araceae that will grow in a heat factor of 8 and hardiness zone 7. Currently, my seven bulbs have reached a size of from six inches to the largest at ten inches. Four of my ten plants bloomed with seed, but I did not know how to collect till finding this Web site. My plants grow over four feet tall with leaves up to (and over) eighteen inches wide by two feet long. Last fall, when I dug them up to prepared them for winter, I had to give away five each 5 gallon buckets full of various sizes from 1 inch to 4 inches in diameter. Previous years have rated three to four buckets. +More I would like to know if anyone would like to, or could, make a swap for some of their varieties?? I can send anything from just coming out of dormacy to stalk/leaf up to almost 12 inches. Or I will buy, because finding different varieties here is impossible. Thanks
