Colocasias

From: Jose Almandoz jose at almandoz.com> on 2000.08.06 at 18:04:42(5245) Hello, I'm new to this list. I live in Northern Spain, and I'd love to know about some good nurseries able to export, where I could find a good choice of species and cultivars of Colocasia and related plants, as I'm becoming very fond of them... Thank you very much. Hope you can help. -- Jose +More San Sebastian, Basque Country, 43.3?N 2.0?W Coastal Northern Spain, SW Europe Z9, rainy oceanic climate E-mail: jose@almandoz.com ICQ: 2546223

Black runner has more of a ruffle to the edge of the leaf and will send out the runners. Take a look at my site for pics of all different kinds of forms. http://www.cloudjungle.dns2go.com/DotNetNuke/DesktopDefault.aspx?&tabidG&path=Araceae/Colocasia

From: Brian Williams pugturd at alltel.net> on 2006.09.08 at 20:02:59(14577) I have been interested in breeding and growing Colocasias over the last few years. I am not even sure how many species are in this group and I have found little to no information on some species. I would be extremely interested in seeing a photo of them or even a description. One question I would like to know is, are all species able to produce seed? I have found very few known seeding forms of colocasia. In my alocasia hybrids I have produced I notice that most are sterile and rarely produce pollen. I find similar traits in some colocasia forms I grow making me wonder if they are possible hybrids? I have taken pictures of berries on colocasia species as well as seed which I have found very hard to find photos of either. I will hopefully have something good written up soon for a aroid newsletter article or aroideana. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
