There is a big difference in the variegation on our plants. Yours is albo-variegated. Mine is aureo-variegated! Mine has 5 leaves on the one stalk now and all are highly variegated. The rhizome was quick to resprout, but has not sent up another shoot, it's been spending all its time fleshing out this one I guess. I am due to fertilize everyone in the greenhouse this weekend, maybe that will spur it into action.

I kind of like El Tigre, but am keeping mine containerized. I will never again let a psitticorum or psitt x spathnocircinata cross loose on the greenhouse floor. I only paid $9.99 for mine, I guess I got it after the "craze" was over. I still have Heliconia latispatha "Roadrunner" that pops up every few months from an piece of rhizome that got planted over by a bottle palm after I thought I dug it all out.

Here was Colocasia "Elepaio" from this summer, its dormant now
