But it does not look like the one I have which has shiny leaves and almost black stems. On the one I need IDed, the leaves are matte finished not shiny. I thought it might be Colocasia esculenta Burgundy Stem because of the lighter colors of the stems and the bluish cast to the leaves but then I read that Burgundy Stem is really shiny leafed. So then I thought it fit the Colocasia esculenta Miranda description but not all the leaves are puckered and they are not as puckered as other pictures I have seen. Anyone know? THANKS |
