I hope I do not anger anybody but please forgive my newcomer question. I am
sure this has been asked a hundred times. I love giant plants and would
love to
find some alocasias, colocasias and xanthosomas that are really true
giants! I
keep running across this photos of little tiny people in front of giant,
trunked
alocasias with huge leaves!
Of course I need to be able to find the plant so if you all could
suggest not
only the beautiful giants but also ones that are not too hard to find. I have
heard that Alocasia odora and A. macrorrhiza are real large and I also read a
reference to Xanthosoma sagittaefolium saying it grows to great heights. Have
not found anything on giant colocasias yet. Thank you all so much for your
help
and I hope this is not too beginner a question for this list.
