Re: Xanthosoma lindenii

Dear Denis,

Thanks for writing me about my little find.   I paid $9.95 for
it.   A great price I thought considering it's size and health.
The leaves are almost one foot long and in great shape.

Thanks again,

David

Dear David:

You'd be surprised at what goes out as generic tropical foliage
to
K-Mart and Walmart when nurserymen in Florida get over stocked.
Xanthosoma lindenii has been in the foliage plant industry for 20
years
from Tissue Culture labs. Although it was reclassified as
Caladium
lindenii based on Floral Characteristics, old names are hard to
change.
Xanthosoma Lindenii was the first plant I grew in my nursery when
I
started in 1981.

By the way, how much did you pay for this 3 gallon pot
of "Tropical Foliage" at K-Mart?
