This is one of my favorites! Mine is still young though, only a year old.

I've got another variegated that I got about a month ago. It's a colocasia from hawii with a funny name I can't recall, LOL. They named it "milky way" to put it into tc this year, though thats not it's real name.

Checked the hyperlink and have to say that I've never seen a cat I liked, but that one is a beautiful cat.
