I have one Colocasia that usually starts off with a divided leaf early on in the season (first and second row) and then pushes up the typical "fused" leaves afterwards. A funny duck it is.

ANYHOW ... Brian, would you be interested in playing with this guy, or is it entirely too common for your work? It's a run-of-the-mill esculenta, but it has some rather pronounced veining in the leaves, and they get well over 8' every year for me, despite the intense abuse I subject them to in the winter. I've always wondered what it would be like to cross this with a black ... and now that you've turned me on to your "China Piink" I am even more curious to see a cross between this guy and a black and then cross that result back into yours from China. But alas, that's an area of horticulture I just have never delved into.
