I am not sure if anyone will really know the answer to this but thought I would throw it out their.

What do you get when you cross a Alocasia Macrorrhiza with Colocasia Pink China?

I am guessing something really odd with a chance of being cold hardy??


Well it seems to be producing berries. I am not sure if it will produce viable seed yet. I have heard of crosses like this being done but this is the first time the flower continued swell and berries form. I have two seed heads of this hybrid swelling up. So cross your fingers we may have a good one here.
