Out west, we just went from fall into a long extended spring and just this week our first triple digit days back to back (5 days in fact) The mildest winter I can recall in the last twenty! No, I am not bragging just a led up to the previous winters destruction . . . day after day of miserable, wet, and very cold weather neither man nor beast liked very well. Like you I wasn't prepared for any thing more than the usual and it quickly became anything but! I lost plants (lots of them) some I'd had for 5 & 6 years and even some 8 & 9 years. And YES i had that sinking to the bottom pit of your stomach feeling. Well, I would hear from others "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger" did that make it any better NO! Made me just want to put my foot up his a@#.

Enough of that, the never ending story. Last year when you seemed to be overwhelmed with EE's I noticed you were selling Colocasia Fontenesii.
Colocasia Elena, Colocasia fallax and silver dollar, Lime zinger and some others. If you have any to trade great if not that's OK to. I'll tell you what's doing well this year for me and if you would like any let me know. Colocasia Big Dipper (The big fuzzy 8'), Colocasia Black Magic mine form tubers!, some Colocasia from Walmart I haven't id yet (last year 60"+ blades(smooth/med green) on 4-5' petioles that are mostly light yellow Large, 1 or 2 very small illistris, Colocasia Diamondhead, the common Colocasia everyone seems to have (a little execration) growing in their yard, I don't know what named verity it is this week. Colocasia Blue Hawaii. and finally my Hilo bay are having a great year, they are the largest they have ever grown! I also have Banana pups (they produce bananas as apposed to just being ornamental) I have some pollys that are just breaking their snooze (ist really hot weather) end of July! So, if I can help you let me know Sway alright? Bird Man over and out and has left the building!
