Lali wanted you to see this Cora Miller, Butch. She thought you would get a kick out of it.
For Butch from Lali
Big, floppy leaves.
Holy Moly!! Okay, where did you get this thing? It looks like it's been in the S.F. Giant's locker room.

I had Kell take that just to taunt you! We went to the Sacramento show and when I saw it, I couldn't help but groan! Pretty amazing eh!!?
Very amazing. You didn't buy it?
I wish! it was a show plant BUT that doesn't mean we didn't STUFF the Lali Beetle full of beauties!
Best in Show went to 'Boomer' the grower said he grew it under the bench in his greenhouse. Which he believes led to the dark leaf margins and leaf size?
I think it was the same guy who grew out this 'Cora Miller'
Apparently he has the winning touch on growing huge plants.
No doubt!
I'd say that I'll upload photos, but as you can see I haven't even finished putting up my photos of the Santa Barbara show.
And speaking of shows, those of you in the St. Louis area are in for a treat. The South West (is St. Louis in the south west now?) show is coming up this week
