  Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia gigantea-unusual inflorcense arrangement

Eric,

The flowering structure that you mention is typical for this clone of
Colocasia gigantea, known as "Thailand Giant Strain". The clone
comes into flowering within a few months, even when planted from
seed.

I grow this clone, as well as the nomal clone of C. gigantea. I don't
ever recall seeing the nomal clone flower, so can't say if its flowering
structure is the same as "Thailand Giant strain"

Plant Delights nursery offers both clones:
