If this is really A.veitchii, then $20 is not too bad, since this species does not seem to be available anywhere. Re: Alocasia reversa, maybe you should cont yourself lucky, since mine has rotted within a week, despite being placed in the same environment as everything else from that shipment. A. sinuata croaked as well. I am finding more and more that alocasias shipped in a non-dormant state seem to expire at a much higher rate than anything else, unless they had all foliage cut off before the shipment and are reasonably large to start with. Has anyone else had a similar disappointing experience? ==================== Krzysztof Kozminski kk@netgate.net http://u1.netgate.net/~kk/
