3j, I did save the Alocasia lauterbachiana. This past summer I ordered several from Brian Williams on eBay since our Home Depot did not get any more large Alocasia/Colocasia for a very low price like they did the year before.

Thanks, Mary. Serratipetala does not get large but it can spread. I pulled it out of the aquarium a few years ago where it was close to 2 feet long and sprawling.

Talk about B. 'Thurstonii' - that was the most expensive begonia I ever bought. Got it at the Southeast Flower Show a few years ago for $30 (Ouch!) I hated to go home empty handed.

Here is a cool Alocasia - 'Stingray' I picked up at the begonia convention this year at Excelsa Gardens.
