Stumbled upon a nice ripe seed head on a big alocasia odora(or similar, I still can't tell odora from mac.) in a greenhouse around here.
They have several blooming size alocasia, but I guess it most likely just crossed with another odora.

I asked for it and they said sure!
I ended up with about 60 good seeds from it, popped em, peeled em, washed em good to get all the orange off of em. It prevents them from germinating, it can be really hard to get off once you get all slimy!

I dried them overnight and planted them yesterday.
I'll probably just end up damping them off, or the survivors will be the same as mom...
But it's the first time I've been able to play with EE seeds at a time of the year that it makes sense.

I just need to start planting more EE in pots instead of the ground, there's just no chance of successful crosses with em planted in ground this far north, not enough time.

I'm excited either way, so much potential in each little seed!

I'll update if anything happens...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
