I think these two EE's might be the same thing. One was given to me as Black Velvet, but I thought Black Velvet had white veins? The second is nameless, but I told the owner I think it is A. antiquorum 'Illustrous'. Any thoughts?
EE ID's please?
Here is the second one.
Here is a different one. When I saw the huge one, I thought it was Ruffles. Now that I see this one up close, the line near the outside of the entire leaf has me thrown. Anyone know which this is?
I´m not 100% sure nut I believe that these are some Caladiums http://images.google.fi/images?hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Caladium&sa=N&tab=wi&lr=

Mitjo thank you for your post. These are Alocasia, possibly Colocasia. The common green one that gets huge is normally sold as Colocasia esculenta, but I have also seen them labeled as Caladium esculenta. In the states, Caladiums are generally the Caladiums you posted. :)
First one looks like Magic,second Illustrous,You got me on the third,looks like some kind of Xanthosoma,by the leaf shape,or caladium.
Chele, is it one you got in the fall co-op?? you might be able to narrow it down by what was in it if so.
oh, sorry this my bad English understanding....EE means Elephant Ear......right?
you asked species....
I just got these in a trade. I was trying to help the owner narrow down names for them. I have had the first one for awhile. I kept all the names with the ones I bought. Mitjo, no problem at all. :)
Yes, this inquiring mind would like to know! Thanks badseed. I will post another pic or 2 of the big green one.
THe wind if really going at today so hope you can see the leaves.
Here is a pic of the blooms in bright sunshine.
Weeds that looks like a type of Xanthosoma to me,Kyle will know for sure,nice bloom on it!
Thanks root and hoepfully Kyle will fill me in!
Weeds it's xanthosoma sagittaefolium..........bigest kind of Xanthosoma as far as I'm concerned.Nice deep geen and can get leaves about 6 feet long if under perfect conditions.
:-)
which are??
Oh boy! I love those big ee's. Thank you Kyle.
Here is the first one now. I think it's happy. :) The oldest leaves are about as black as black can be!!
Here is the third one again. What happened?? Chlorosis?? How the heck do I fix it?? It has been really cool and wet here. It is finally getting warmer, but still raining. :(
Thought ya'll maight like to see South Texas monster EE's.
WOWSER!!!!!!!!!!
cclou, that just ain't nice! LOL I'm thrilled if mine get five feet tall and wide in a season. :)
WOWSER is right!
Seed that last one looks like a little sunburn to me,hard to think that with you saying you have had so much rain.
cclou,looks like you will fit in here just fine,welcome to DG,love the shot!!
Root©ट©¬
Thanks Root! If it was I'd as a Xanthosoma (probably butchered the spelling), shouldn't it be able to take sun (not that I have had much sun to speak of! LOL)? My melanga gets the same amount and is doing fine. This leaf looked fine until it started unrolling and that is what I ended up with.
cclou, those are fantastic! I love those tropicals.
Badseed, I haven't had one that color so I don't know. Might just be the change in temp and humitdity.
