Thanks again for helping me ID this plant. It indeed looks to be a Thai Hybrid. The others are different variations of Caladium Bi-Color I think. I am going to post all of the varieties I have on the Caladium forum later. I have about 12 different color variations. Is there a caladium specific forum? LariAnn?
No the other color variation has not been acquired yet. It is a variation of the chocolate Thai hybrid I saw on the link you gave me.
From some of the pages I have read about hybridizing these plants, I have an idea of how to do it, but I have some questions.
If you have a plant blooming, perhaps you could make a photo tutorial, LariAnn?
1-I am wondering how long you can save pollen once you collect it from the donor plant?
2-How can you go about collecting the pollen?
3-How do you know when to pollinate the receiving plant?
4-Do Caladiums' Berries have chemicals to prevent germination as well as the other alocasias & colocasias?
Noel
