Re: [aroid-l] Alocasia macrorhiza 'Seven Colors'

I purchased it when it first was on the radar screen and paid alot for it. I
now know that it is a nice clone of  new guinea gold. I have one that is
alot nicer than that I purchased for a fraction of the price. Alot of things
have good , better, and best versions. shop around. I will tell you that
many of the things offered on their website is worth every penny that you
pay. Albert

This new variety of the giant elephant's ear, or taro, is called "seven

stalk bright yellow striped green, and bold blotches of yellow on the green
background. There are also tones of red, purple, peach, and pink on the
stems of large specimens. This is related to 'New Guinea Gold' but has more
dramatic
