...on a colocasia coffee cup?

Mine are bigger than ever, and no sign of a bloom!

The tallest leaf is easily 7', maybe 7'6"!
It's kind of buried in the jungle, it's hard to get a good pic that really does it justice...

I've not even seen pictures of bigger ones than I have!
I have no illusion that they are the biggest ever, I'm sure in the tropics they could get bigger...but I can't seem to find any proof that they can bloom...

You guys are often better detectives than I am, and seem to find links to stuff I've never seen!
If anyone can find a pic of a bloom, or has first hand seen one, I would love to know about it!

I'm also deeply embroiled in a debate with a friend, he thinks that coffee cups and tea cups are the same plant!
I think he's full it!
He says tea cups are dwarfs and won't get over 3' and that I clearly have coffee cups...
I'm fairly certain they are the same and he's just a victim of misinformation being spread in order to sell more plants!

Neither one of us has been able to satisfy the other and end the argument!

I sure wouldn't mind if someone here helped solve this one for me too...

Thanks folks!
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
