Need help with ID

Received these from a friend and not sure of the names. This one I think is Illustrus.

the leaf

Don't know this one

leaf 2

Is this Mickey Mouse?

And this one has red stems

Front of leaf has a red dot

back of leaf has red veins

I found two in the database with red stems. One is 'Bloody Mary' and the other 'Rhubarb'. Is there a difference or just two names?

They are all garbage.....send them to me so I can put them out of their/your misery......ROTFL


Don't know the name, but I recognize them as gems.

Please send. I will even double the postage...LOL

Good try, I would really like to know what the variegated one is.

#1 is 'Illustris'
#3 is Xanthosoma atrovirens or 'Mickey Mouse' Taro
#2 may be also as it doesn't look like macro variegata or C. 'Milky Way'

Last one could well be Pink China

Ric

1 Illustris is right
3 Xanthosoma atrovirens albo marginata mickey mouse
2 is a Xanthosoma it could me the same as above but if not it is then Saggittifolia var which is very rare. It could be so it would stay a lighter green than atrovirens and the stems with only be green and white and no cupping on the leaf tips. I would have to see photos of it later. But if it is its a Jewel.

Last one is rubarb or pink neon stem. Producing a bright neon pink stem pink china will have more white stems and the center stems pink. As for Colocasia Bloody mary I named this around 5 years ago. It is streaked green with red. I dont know anyone selling it yet but is a interesting plant so is Colocasia candy cane. One with pink and white streaked stems.


Here is a picture of the very rare and hard to find Bloody Mary.

Before I get asked here is a picture of candy cane

Thanks Brian and Henry. The one with red stems I'll have to look at again later, I don't think there is any white striping. The leaves were dried around the edge from having been dug (on our hottest day of the year).

Here's another shot of #2. There is no cupping and it isn't the same as #3

another leaf

They are sure special. My offer still stands....lol

I took a look at my red stems this morning and they are dark red. Also talked with the friend that gave it to me and she got it from Plants Delight a few years ago. PD online does show 'Rhubarb' so I guess that's it. It seems to be recovering from being transplanted and is putting on a new leaf.
