  Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia flowers
From: Scott Radford <s.rad4d at ymail.com> on 2010.09.12 at 07:20:18
Hi Kyle

I grow lots of Colocasias here in the UK

I also have Zantedesschia in my pond and can say from my experience that the Colocasia flowers do not open up to the full extent of the Zantedeschia flowers - i.e to the point where the top is completely fanned out. In contrast Colocasia flowers do open up a bit, but they only need to open enough to allow the natural pollinator insects to get in, not necessarily our eyes.

But you are right, regardless, the bright yellow spathes on the darker varients such as Black Magic do look great.

Yes, provided that are not in the same kingdom. So, you can have animals and
plants and fungi sharing the name. Araceae has an example Hapale (a syn of
Hapaline) and also a genus of marmoset.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Dracunculus and Dracunculus



Hello,



While searching the web for documents I found something that made me scared.

Besides Dracunculus vulgaris and Dracunculus canariense, which we almost all
heard about,

I found a document mentioning different species of Dracunculus which are...
Nematodes:

http://www.cartercenter.org/documents/2147.pdf



Is it admissible for two quite different unrelated taxa to bear the same
generic name?



???

In the quest of my ever learning...we've some Calocasia 'Black Magic' to the nursery I am employed at which are flowering......Bright yellow beautiful spadex's........that NEVER open....I'm starting to think that they aren't going to look like my mental expectation of a Zantedeschia floresence but do they ever open further than just a tight bud???
