Here is a odd Xanthosoma I got this from a friend in Ecuador who said it was a natural hybrid he called palmafer. I asked a few experts it seems no one has ever heard of this name or seen this plant before. It looks like a bit like volaceum in that it has some purple in the stems but it also produces a light orange to yellow color in the stems. The leaves also tend to cup and get huge. I hope to have a friend grow it out and see how large it can get.
