Here is what I found at Home Depot last week. It's already growing a new leave and two babies have popped up to. I couldn't believe the size of the leave!

Which Alocasia is this?
Allison told me as I got one, too......at Lowe's they were everywhere.....mine just says Alocasia surtida?????
I thought they were magnificent......she says they get real big....
I'll have to check my Lowes and HD. Last week both stocks were very low and un interisting. Maybe mine haven't gotten here yet. That's a beauty.
Mark Campbell, I think???
Very nice
Yeah I would think Mark Cambell as well he hybridized this a few years ago out of Hawaii. If you look at it from a angle you may see a purple reflective sheen to the leaves. It is a good grower and a bit easier than some others.
Thanks, Everyone! I couldn't believe I picked it up at our Home Depot.

Hm, may have to wander into HD tomorrow when in the "city". Care to give a ballpark amount on the cost? Don't want to ask directly, don't want to offend.
I think I paid $12.
Check this one out if you like the dark colored EEhttp://www.agristarts.com/ look up A. 'Infernalis'
I am a coleus type, mostly.

I just went to the site and don't think I can use a 72 cell tray of anything but coleus....

Capital Nurseries used to be big in the cities of Austin and San Antonio, I moved in 1985 to SF CA, so they probably have been bought up by some mega corporate nursery.
Ooooooh that is a yummy color! Looks almost good enough to eat.
