Xanthosoma

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2002.01.23 at 14:58:18(8040) Hello well I have not bugged the group in sometime so I thought I would fish for a few plants I would like to get. By the way my greenhouse is doing great. Working on the rock walls each side is 75ft long and 10ft tall its going to take me a long time. But I am off to a good start with the foundation and all. I plan to take pics of my progress. Well, I have had great success with many Xanthosomas and have seen PICS and heard of larger forms with colorful stems and leafs. Some that look like caladiums as well as huged leaf forms that dwarf most aroids. Now I have manly the most common forms out there that are eaten and a few ornamental forms. I would like to know if anyone has any other forms growing and most of all pups to spare in a trade or sell. Looking up Xanthosoma on the net I found many names that I don't know of. Here is a list I put a star next to the ones I have.
