[Aroid-l] "Elephant Ear"??? Man, I hate that term!

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2008.03.10 at 00:49:45(17149) So let's start an action "every plant with a label" informing accurately about the correct plant's name no matter that it can be a species or cultivar. First when the plant comes from the first owner should by labelled correctly. The owner should identify what he has when he wants to sell plants. This clausule should be involved in the international law. ----- Original Message ----- From: ExoticRainforest +More To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 2:43 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] "Elephant Ear"??? Man, I hate that term! I'm sure just about all of you have seen plants in your local nursery, Home Depot, WalMart or Lowe's being sold this time of year with the name "Elephant Ear". I hate that term and no one at any of our local stores has ever been able to tell me what the species, or base species if it is a hybrid, might be. I've always assumed some sort of Xanthosoma but can't find anything. One note I recently received said it was a very large Caladium, but if it is, I can't find out anything about it. Does anyone on this forum know for certain? Although I've never seen one produce a spathe I'm told it produces a large white inflorescence. This is one plant I'd love to do a page for my website on!!
