Oh I was joking!
It's been 90 here this week... I was guessing it had to be hotter there, looks like it was " only as hot" as it was here!
Most folks miss the first sign of dehydration and heat exhaustion...
The first sign is actually impaired judgement and the lack of ability to reason... Sound familiar?
I'm joking but serious to, that really is the first sign and it often missed, it's got me a few times!
I bet you could fill up 3 acres under glass in no time! The plants seem to grow before your eyes as you bring em in... 3 acres is deceptively small too.
Do keep us posted when ever possible. I really enjoy alocasia and there's really not alot of really different plants on the market!
Releases from that place remain my very favorites! I'm sure I'd happily grow any number of plants that you've deemed not ready to release.
I'm really excited about regale shields, it's a tough hardy alocasia to survive what I've put it through, and must really be a good grower, not long after I got mine last year I found a mass planting in a very nice neighborhood, they stood close to 5' and really looked they had p-stems already, I'd only known the plant existed for a few months, I was out of the loop the past 2 years but still, I'd have called them second or third year plants.
The leaf color was outstanding for plants that size!
It'll be interesting to see if they find their way into the market like portora.
I got my first 3 mixed into a shipment of odora bulbs from Europe, 3/100!
Man did I think I had something then!
I guess it was around maybe 2002?
Now i see portora everywhere!
They stand head and shoulders over the odora they're mixed in with( literally and figuratively)
