This plant is a new hybrid and extremely exciting for me. The mother of the plant was macrorrhiza. I am not sure if you know what these means but a few of you have grown my hybrid called Alocasia williams hybrid? Well this is similar with a bit of a new look. Macrorrhiza is a bit of a weed and a huge grower. It's hardy to zone 7b or 8 and is fast and strong. Most of you may know it as the upright elephant ear. Well that was the mother to this plant which means this plant will get large be strong fast and much easier than the ones we see with beautiful leaves but fight to keep alive. Like the post for overwintering aroids. This plant would be on the easy side and much prettier looking than most in that group. Here is a pic of the underside of the leaf.
