A honor to have you on board! I think it was me who first used your name in vain LOL. I meet you at the aroid show a few years back. When asking questions on alocasia I am always refered to ask you. I have to say I am a bit lazy at times sending photos and aroid-l still does not allow attachments so now that we have you here I can start bombarding you with alocasias that need ID.

Your slide show was amazing and I am still dreaming of that huge cuprea form you have photos of. Any chance of these rare forms being sold? I think TCing them would make many of these extremely hard to find species much more obtainable.

My first question is Alocasia Borneo giant is said to be a form of Macrorrhiza. This plant flowered and the flower was over 1 foot tall. The flower was much different looking than my normal marcrorrhizas the spadix was very long and the smell was nothing like macorrhiza. Do you think this is a form of Mac or a completely different species???
