Default Re: Alocasia sp. 'Golden'

Nice EEs. I have to disagree though, after looking carefully at your pics and then at mine again, that they are indeed two different cultivars. The leaves on yours keep the yellow variegation. The leaves on the cultivar that I have emerge yellow, then turn to pure white. Take another look at the picture I posted, and you will easily see the difference.

Thanks for all the information! I made a trade for this plant, and was quite happy with it. You certainly do know your EEs, Lilith. Some are also using gamma radiation to induce mutations, not just with EEs, but bananas as well. I expect we will have some strange-looking plants come to light in the next ten years or so.
