~5 weeks total growth time (4 weeks in between).

They are painfully slow at this stage...it drives me nuts!

They look really good tho!

Do you see any diversity amongst them yet?

Awwww .. I love baby pictures!

Those look great, Drew! Looks like you have a lot to keep you busy until spring.

Yikes, Drew! When you think about the size each of those lovely little plants will be . . . Holy Cow, you need to put in a bid on some more land, kiddo.

Subtle Sway.

Thank you Anne!

I think I do Sandi.


I do, don't I Elaine!

Keep us posted!

I've come to feel rather deprived...lugging around ancient species...knowing so much more is locked in those genes!

I've got good portora blooms still but everything else was in ground this year so it's all flopped and not even got leaves much less a bloom, I guess I need to go back to growing these guys in pots again to cross em. Colocasia more fast enough I can get a few inflo. to take, which is more than I can handle anyways, without a better greenhouse.

There's a alocasia Mac. that I know of that would certainly replace the big green uprights we all know. You can't tell em from the others except for its growth rate, which is astounding!
It's likely to never make it to market because of it's very similar look to odora and the Macs...

My goal in '14 is to cross Borneo with Portora (all three).

Are you still planning on doing this Drew ?

Winter was just too brutal MJ… Hopefully next year.
