Re: Another Question/Elephant Ears

Given that I have over 5000 chat messages not read, I may never catch
up - but this is a quickie - there are several forms of Colocasia
that put out runners; would have to do some looking up to name them
tho'...what you're seeing is not unusual.  Runners may also be usual
with other species of 'elephant ears' but I think it's mainly forms
of Colocasia.
