LariAnn I am not sure if this is Calidora or Odora. This looks to be the same as what I have been calling Macrorrhiza for years. As we discussed. It is not the same as the macrorrhiza variegated when it reverts to green. This form my father has had now for over 30 years and it seems no one can tell were it is from. It seems to be fairly common up north probably sold by some wholesale bulb companies usually as the upright elephant ear. We had one in a greenhouse get over 12 to 15 feet tall we had to use a chainsaw to cut it down it was so large. It does not seem to produce the small tubers under the soil as much as the reverted green form does and the flowers are different as well.
