Hey don't complain we gonna be -2F tonight and the next 3 nights. :-) had our first snow of the season.Thought we were gonna get all the way thru winter without this year.
Kyle, your plum caster seed you shared with me
I will to complain LOL We haven't been this cold here in like 15 years, brrrrrrrrrr. Of course, you can complain all you want, I grew up in IN, am happy to not be there :-)
Beautiful pictures. And I keep seeing a tropical pop up I would love to ID. I keep thinking it's an alocasia, but I'm not sure. My alocasia is much taller. Thanks for any help... included your photo circling the plant I was referring too.
Looks like alocasia gageana, never gets real tall usually no more than about 4 ft tall but gets many ripple edged leaves.I use this one a lot at work in beds and pots as some of the other alocasias get too tall to use.
Thanks Eclipse, now I know what to look for.
Kyle is right, also known as alocasia gageana 'California'.

That'd be great. We'll be settled in the new house by then and I can start expanding the collection. Thanks again :)
mine don't look so good right now after several days with this record Calif. cold snap, largest leaves melted from frost but the stem looks firm and green, it's a toughie! I plan to spread it around to replace the non-toughies I'm loosing.
Sue, sorry to hear about all the damage from the cold.Hope everything grows back. :-)
