Some more of the plants in the pond. I'll post more later.

1st photo. Alocasia cucullata. Not a large growing Alocasia which likes to sit in water. The top of the pot is out of the water.

2nd photo. Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Variegata' is a very nice "dramatically" variegated aroid that grows best sitting in water. This one is still a bit small, they get up to about shoulder height.

3rd photo. Cyrtosperma johnstonii in centre foreground. Another water aroid, related to Giant Swamp Taro.

4th photo. Cyrtosperma johnstonii has an amazing petiole (leaf stem)

5th photo. Cyrtosperma johnstonii flower.
