Hi George and Friends,

First off I am NOT an 'Alocasia person', I LOVED them, they responded by
hating me and dropping dead by the droves. I have been reading about
this A. 'sarian' for a short while on this list, and the name sure sounded
familiar, so I looked around at the nursery where I am now employed and they
sell LOTS of it, a plant about 5-6 ft tall that seem to want to get even
larger as there is no sign of blooming as yet, three good leaves seem to be
carried at a time, two or three plants to a 7 gal. pot. It MAY be a
species, but sure looks like a hybrid to me, I THINK that I can 'see' A.
sanderiana in it`s parentage. There is another 'we' sell called A. 'white
knight' that looks pretty simular, but smaller in stature (about 2 1/2 ft.
tall) and the silver in the veins has sort of 'ran' into the surface of the
leaf giving a silvered effect, and it has mottled petioles.

George, if you find out more about the origin of A. sarian please let us
know!

Sincerely,

Julius
