Tacca integrifolia blooms every year about now. I have it in the GH in a few places and also outside in a few places. It was a real surprise a few years ago to learn it was hardy outside here and would bloom. (The black Tacca is not as hardy and is a greenhouse only plant for me)

Beautiful, Gina. I was just looking at a book on plants from Hawaii, and the Tacca caught my eye. I've never tried it, but might have to.

In spite of its rep its easy to grow

Thanks, Gina. I'll have to see what I can find.

I like the look of the white one, I always thought it looked ethereal like a bridal veil. To me, the black one looks like a halloween decoration. Naturally I had better luck growing the black one.

Yeah the black is much smaller and it does;t hold its flower up the same way the white does. It also blooms at a different time, at least for me. But it does reseed itself like a maniac.

I have an abandone garden. Glad to know that even under severe and chronic neglect... a Black Tacca is still manage to survive...albeit it has so small flower
I guess it worth a resque project..
