The appendage is only on one leaf, Zencat. I grew this from the same bulbs last year but never had this before.
Swayback - you referred to my plant as "alocasia." Is that the name of this Elephant Ears as my other one is known as "Blue Hawaii"?


It looks like alocasia odora, but don't take my word for it... Blue Hawaii is a colocasia, these are the 2 main types of elephant ears, xanthosoma is another large aroid that folks in the states call elephant ears, caladiums are another common cousin.
Feel free to check out the tropicals aroid subforums, they're packed with info and pics of elephant ears and the like, fun plants!
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
