All,
Hello. I just
returned from Kauai and I was lucky enough to be there during the Taro
festival.
I saw some
very interesting things while at the festival. For example, the University of
Hawaii
has several
hybrids in the making. Some where VERY striking. They plan on getting them
into
tissue
culture soon.

There were a
few plants with Hawaiian names that looked like common Colocasia but I am
not
sure. Does
anyone know is "Uahiapele" is just "Black Magic" ?

Also, there
was a cupped leaf Colocasia by the name of "Apuwia" or "Bird bath taro". Has
anyone
heard of this
variety ? If so, do you know where I could get some ?

Cheers,
Skip
