Hi Holly great EEars. Are the photos recent? I'd love to hear how you overwinter your Alocasia and how big they eventually get. My EEars have really taken off recently with some working on there 2nd leaf in about a week. Only Colocasia and Xanths though. I've been wanting to get an Alocasia if I can manage to over-winter.

I also tried a nice pumpkin colored Hibiscus which I bought at one of the big box stores. Not nearly as nice as yours though and after over-wintering they put out tons of new growth the following year but no blooms. What's your secret?
Evan
