I thought I would share what I have been breeding. Please note that these are not plants yet but are attempts at producing seed. It can take 2 to 3 years to get the plant up to size and then multiply. So for some this does not sound very interesting but for me it is extremely exciting. These plants will be totally new and could be cold hardy or better colorations. I am hoping for gigantic black elephant ears or some odd coloration with extreme hardiness.
