Is there a black caladium, a

>>Black Caladium...  not that I know of...  If I saw it...  I'd buy!  And, as
far as Colocasia or Xanthosoma....  Damn, you have me thinking...  I'll
really have to check and will get back to you....  Frankly, there is not a
hell of a lot of difference....

There IS a black Xanthosoma, I got a few which went to the "Amazonia" exibit 
at the National Zoo a couple of years ago. There is also a black Colocasia, as 
we have discussed ; I`ve not seen a black Caladium, BUT the smaller "Black" 
taro (Colocasia), which has a dark, patterned leaf, I`ve seen refered to as a 
"black" Caladium.  This MAY explain the mix-up.
