Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Black Polly

From: "Denis Rotolante" <denis at skg.com> on 2009.12.14 at 14:47:28(20387) Alison: Please delineate what the initials "EA" stand for. Is that a store name or a country abbreviation or something else altogether?

This week at a local greenhouse I found that they had some there tagged "Black Polly" that were nothing like the EA one. It was more like a lauterbachii with a very dark cast to it. Has anyone seen this new appearance in the trade? EA stopped selling Amazonica everywhere and now you may be hard-pressed to find one at all in any box store. Only the blacker one, now someone has co opted the name for yet another plant. I just call them "trade names". Alison ------=_NextPart_000_003A_01CA7CA2.75DDD960----==============E04537517735933088=
