LariAnn said:I wish I could share them now, but most pictured are the only ones I have (only ones that exist?). Besides that, when I did my first two crosses in the late 1970s, I did share them quickly. The thanks I got was that both were placed into tissue culture production by "friends" without my knowledge or consent. The result is that now my plants are being sold worldwide and I do not receive even one penny of compensation! So I hope you will understand if I am not anxious to let these new babies out into the open market without some kind of protection. I don't think it unreasonable that I should receive some compensation for the work I have done in developing these new plants!
If anyone has a different point of view on this, I'd love to read it here!

eclayne said:I'm looking for advice on overwintering Colocasia. I have Thai Giant and Mojito which were small starts this Spring. They were dug, potted up and heavily watered, then put in the cellar around 10/25. No water since and very little light. Temps are around 57-60F and most of the old foliage was removed.
All three plants are sending up new leaves. Should I continue to withhold all water? If I put them on the stairs leading to the outside door it's probably 10-15 degrees colder with no light. Better?
